ALMOND OIL WRINKLE CREAM
1 tbs. of an infusion of comfrey leaves... OR...
1 tbs. of a decoction of comfrey roots (see below)
1 tbs. lanolin
2 tsp. sweet almond oil
2 tsp. water
2 tsp. cod liver oil
Melt lanolin and almond oil in a double boiler. Add water and allow to
cool. Mix in cod liver oil and comfrey. Apply gently to face and rinse
off after 5 to 10 minutes. This is a rich moisturizer that boosts the
water-holding capacity of your skin and helps plump out wrinkled areas.
Infusion: This is a beverage made like tea, by pouring boiled water over
plants and steeping to extract the active ingredients. The normal amounts
are about 1/2 to 1 ounce of plant to one pint of boiled water. You should
let the mixture steep for 5 to 10 minutes, covered, and strain the infusion into a cup.
Decoction: This preparation allows you to extract primarily the mineral
salts and bitter principles rather than vitamins and volatile ingredients.
The normal amounts are about 1/2 ounce plant to 1 cup water. Bring
ingredients to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for up to 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and steep the mixture with the cover on the pot for a few
minutes.
