(for sprained or aching muscles or joints)

1 ounce rosemary
1 gallon water
1 ounce comfrey root

Bring all ingredients to a boil in a large, flat pan. Turn off heat; let steep
until just cool enough to use. If you can, insert sprained area into hot water
and soak at least 5 minutes.

Then immediately plunge it into Cold Soak for 2
minutes. This liquid can also be used as a compress and the herbs can be applied
as a plaster.
