While comfrey is an incredibly powerful healing tool - it also has a dark side to it.
It has toxic substances called pyrrolizidine alkaloids that damage the liver and can lead to death. So be careful when using said medicine. :)
Thank you @alchemage. In high concentrations, pyrrolizidine alkaloids can cause damage. We consume dilute teas made from the leaves with no ill effects, but more frequently we use it for topical applications.
Personally, I would suggest exactly what you are doing - occasional decant if necessary, but poultices preferred.
Yes...Well ideally someone is not getting hurt so often that they need this on any more than a rare occasion.
Good point worth noting though!
Some peoppe are just accident prone. ;)
Wow the before and after photo of the hand is incredible!
Yes! Applying comfrey immediately felt cool and soothing, and as you can see the inflammation and swelling was greatly reduced in mere hours!! It's fascinating stuff.
This is fascinating, More Wild Health/Nutrition!

Comfrey is AWESOME. It is also such a beautiful plant and it's easy to grow more just by breaking off a piece and sticking it in soil. These plants just love to thrive. It shows in the way it heals! Thank you for posting this healing information.
You're welcome!
Great for the soil. Grow comfrey, not lawns. :)
Exactly!
And LOTS of other medical plants!
Power to the plants!
