RE: Wildcrafted Medicine: The Incredible Healing Properties of Comfrey
Thanks for such a thorough response, @drumcrazy !
Just so you know, the sources I've heard advocate essentially "do not take any comfrey tea internally" are not from big pharma propaganda, they are from books on herbalism written by herbalists, botanists, biologists, etc.
Yes it could definitely be a meme repeated by people copying the same 'research' you are saying is being used to propagate a misleading conclusion.
I appreciate your skepticism and after reading your comments and the story about your daughter and your personal experience, I would reconsider using comfrey internally if I had a severe injury and would now know to research more deeply at that point. Thanks for that! Blessings!
Very welcome friend. Also sorry if I come across as arrogant and presumptuous Re: pharma etc. I'm sure many very clever people have opposing views and beliefs about all herbs. That's why we need to follow our hearts and brains and personal experience when using anything to heal. what works for one may not work for another. We're all unique :)
No worries, I wasn't offended at all; I think that argument about big pharma applies to a lot of "medicine" and is valuable to know & keep in mind for health decisions. Just shared more context on my side so folks could have full picture of where my comment was coming from. Totally agree concerning individualized health, and cultivating the awareness to listen to your own body about what works best for it :)
