"W. D. Cavanaugh" <chuck...@iamerica.net>: "My point is: almost nobody I know has any knowledge of comfrey..."
COMFREY: One of the best weapons in herbal medicine; miraculous in it's ability to rapidly mend and heal broken bones and torn flesh. The Indians called it BONEMENDER and was wrapped around limbs with broken bones and other injuries to promote healing. Even the Egyptians knew of it's power. They would place the wet leaves over tumor areas. It grows all around the world in some form - even Siberia - like Nature's general medicine. One plant will quickly spread and they're very durable little buggers. The leaves are good, but the roots are also used for their magical active ingredient "allantoin". We have a huge patch growing in the middle of our garden every year and I've drank gallons of fresh comfrey tea. This year I'll be juicing the fresh leaves. For a long time my dad has been making a special comfrey liquid that he gives to people with arthritis and other problems; they rub it on the painful area and soon it's like new again. His aunt taught him how to make it; the roots and/or leaves have to soak in alcohol for months before it's ready. He preaches comfrey like "born agains" preach the Bible. Great stuff, that comfrey.
