Symphytum officinale NL: Smeerwortel / F: Consoude Comfrey is another amazing perennial herb, essential to any herbal first aid kit as well as to any healthy organic and permaculture garden. Comfrey in the garden: it contains more Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) than most commercial fertilizers. Its long roots draw nutrients from deep in the soil and transfer it all to the leaves. The nutrient-rich leaves can then be used directly as a mulch, added to compost piles as a compost activator or chopped and added to a container with rain water to allow it to ferment and be later used as liquid compost. Comfrey not only enriches the soil but it can also speed up heat processes, which is pretty handy to have near and around fruit shrubs and other fruit trees or larger crops that require higher soil temperatures. Do not allow it to grow near to smaller plants, as it is a pretty strong, large and rather dominant plant. it also comes in white Comfrey as first aid herb: it has been used in folk medicine to help reduce bruising and to speed up tissue repair: broken bones and ligaments, damaged cartilage or connective tissue. Its tissue healing properties (mainly attributed to a substance called allantoin) are so strong that it is not advisable to be used in case of open wounds, as it risks “closing” the wound much faster than the time the body might need to get rid of any harmful microorganisms. It is also useful externally in the treatment of varicose veins, joints inflammation, to stop bleeding and in eye injuries. Its tincture or tea made out of the dried leaves or roots have been used internally to reduce heavy menstruation flow and to relieve gastric ulcers. The leaves can be used freshly squeezed, dried and made into a strong tea or macerated in oil for 3-4 weeks, the drained oil can be used to make salves to be applied in bruises and rheumatic joints to help relieve pain and swelling. hairy leaves and stems Comfrey in the kitchen: it has also a long history of being used as an edible but in the light of recent studies this is no longer advised, since the plant contains varying amount of pyrrolizidine alkaloids - which are toxic. The young leaves contain little amounts of the harmful alkaloids and can therefore be consumed in moderate amounts (I personally would do that only in case where there is no other food source available). Dried leaves and roots can be made into tea and its roots can be roasted into coffee, such as with dandelion and chicory roots.

Latem zmieniam się w małego smoka. I piję, piję, piję. Wymyślam lemoniady, eksperymentuję z sokami i koncentratami. Sięgam po to, co akurat owocuje lub kwitnie. Na przykład po miodną, słodką, czerwoną koniczynę. Przyrządziłam z niej skoncentrowany syrop do dłuższego przechowywania i lemoniadę do popijania na bieżąco. Syrop z koniczyny ma działanie wykrztuśne, pomaga też przy bólu gardła, przyda się więc na jesienne przeziębienia. Na skraju podleśnej łąki, w miejscu wolnym od zanieczyszczeń, wypatrzyłam kępki czerwonej koniczyny. Zerwałam co do jednego wszystkie fiołkowe pomponiki, zebrało się ich około pięć szklanek, otrzepanych starannie z wszelkich żuczków i muszek, obranych z listków i szypułek. Kwiaty włożyłam do emaliowanego garnka i zalałam litrem szklankami wrzątku. Dodałam starannie wyparzoną limonkę pokrojoną w plastry. Tak przygotowany napar zostawiłam na 24 godziny w chłodnym miejscu. Następnego dnia odcedziłam płyn przez sito, dokładnie wyciskając kwiaty i plastry limonek. Powoli doprowadziłam płyn do wrzenia, po czym stopniowo dodałam dwie szklanki brązowego cukru trzcinowego. Zamiast cukru trzcinowego można użyć zwykłego białego cukru z buraków lub ksylitolu – syrop wówczas będzie miał jaśniejszy, niemal różany kolor. Aby przygotować lemoniadę, cukier można zastąpić miodem (około 5 łyżek, do smaku) lub syropem klonowym; tak uzyskany płyn jest mniej trwały, należy go przechowywać w lodówce i spożyć w ciągu tygodnia. Syrop trzymałam na malutkim ogniu przez dwadzieścia minut, pozwalając mu tylko lekko „mrugać”. W tym czasie wyparzyłam butelki i nakrętki. Wrzący syrop wlałam do butelek, zakręciłam. I patrzyłam, jak zahipnotyzowana, w przejrzysty koraloworóżowy czarodziejski płyn. Ściągawka, czyli potrzebne produkty Pięć szklanek kwiatów czerwonej koniczyny, jedna limonka, dwie szklanki cukru trzcinowego lub cukru białego buraczanego, lub (na lemoniadę) – pięć łyżek jasnego miodu lub syropu klonowego, woda.

Some herbs also wilt faster than others. One way to stop them becoming a slimy mess and to extend their life is through a tip I got from Annabel Langbein and that is to pluck off the leaves and make an oil that can keep in the fridge for another week or two. I tried them more as an experiment thinking that I had nothing to lose but the oil but I found them incredibly useful. Over the next week or two, I used the coriander in curries and dips while the basil was perfect for drizzling on top of pasta. The parsley oil was great for tabouli or other fresh salads to make a dressing and the chilli oil was shelf stable so I kept it in the pantry and use it to give dishes an extra zing to finish.
