Homemade Burn and Wound Salve

This is a great little recipe for cuts, scrapes, burns and more.  There are only 3 ingredients, equal parts Raw Honey, fresh Comfrey (I grow in my back yard) and Wheat Germ Oil.  Blend all ingredients well.  Apply and cover wound with gauze or band aid.  Check on would and add more when necessary when original application has absorbed.  Do not peel off damaged skin, continue to add to wound until it is healed.  Raw honey cools, removes pain and aids in fast healing without scarring and is also an antibiotic.  Comfrey helps to stop bleeding, heels fractures and mends broken bones faster.  Wheat germ oil is nourishing to the skin, is used as an anti-inflammatory and prevents scarring.  The shelf life of wheat germ oil is short so keep this ointment in the refrigerator for up to a month.
