  1. I remember being given comfrey tea after I had a bad fall and scraped a knee or elbow.

  2. Comfery flowers come in several different colors. We seed comfery in public areas. Can plant in places where there are regulations againest food plants in five gallon pots to grow on the porch. One plant is enough to make a batch of medicines. I just freeze some comfery leaf for winter time fast to get medicine.

  3. In 2001, the US Food and Drug Administration banned the sale of comfrey products for internal use and use on open wounds due to its potential toxicities.
    Comfrey must be good. Think of the poison FDA have approved over the years. Most of it can be taxed… comfrey in the nature and in the garden can't be taxed.

  4. Comfrey contains mixed phytochemicals in varying amounts, including allantoin, mucilage, saponins, tannins, pyrrolizidine alkaloids, and inulin, among others. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are responsible for comfrey's liver toxicity, which is associated with consuming this plant or its extracts

  5. I think the warnings are bc it is a liver cleanse. You can feel a tickle in your liver when you take it. About 20 yrs ago or so, it was removed from health store shelves bc people had taken it and were going oi their Dr saying they had and that they had felt that tickle. It finally got released, but now, it's way more expensive.

  6. I made a paste out of the roots to help my mother in law to cure her broken shoulder ….doctors were amazed that it healed 3 month faster than expected ❤😊❤ even the scar on her skin faded away

  7. I mistook fox glove leaves for confrey in springtime..ended up dead for 48 hrs. In ICU.. foxglove is very medecinally wonderful..digitalis. but eaten in herbal form deadly . Winfrey is wonderful too ..
    Healing with poultices .
