Traditional herbalists say that liver damage after normal doses of comfrey tea ingestion was not reported before science found that it has toxic PA compounds. Many have stopped using it internally out of an abundance of caution. It might be safe enough for people who don’t already have liver problems. Here’s a nice article about that debate: theherbalacademy.com/use-comfrey-internally/

@@dr.mindya.curryndpassionfo7590 I see I unintentionally duplicated some of my content. I find myself defending this great herb so often, it’s easy to lose track of which content I contributed and where.

You can do it!

Thanks for the binge! I hope your salve is excited! It’s really amazing for healing non-infected wounds quickly.

I tried that one made with dried comfrey powder - not as good.

My pleasure!

I’ve heard reports that comfrey makes a particularly rich compost and compost tea! A non-invasive cultivar sounds very cool!

@@dr.mindya.curryndpassionfo7590 I’m a retired DC and addition to using Comfrey as a pollinator, fertilizer and valuable member of my fruit tree guilds, I’ve also been drinking comfrey for many years with no ill affects whatsoever-in fact, quite the contrary- I’m healthier than anyone I know. It AMAZES me that so many lay people have embraced the baseless fear-mongering surrounding this amazing plant-but of course the FDA only has the public’s best interest at heart 🙄 yeah, right. After it’s disappearance many years ago from the shelves of health food stores, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that even Walmart online is selling Comfrey tea these days. If you ever need a reputable source for Boking #4, let me know.

Thanks for your interest! I hope you find your medicines helpful and cost effective!

@christinedavies What about mimosa? I LOVE mimosa. Jude, from Kentucky ✝️🐴🌿🇺🇸

That got a bit warm! I’d bet plenty of the goodness remained even though the temp got too high. I’d have probably used it on my tired dry feet at night just to not waste all that beautiful green oil. Chalk that up to a lesson in getting to know your crock pot better!

The Etekcity scale and the potato ricer can be found on Amazon. The beeswax pastilles can be found on Mountain Rose Herbs, or also Amazon.

Vitamin E oil is not really necessary, but may help extend the lifespan of your salve. I don’t have a real ratio for Vit E in this. I tend to just add “some”.

..some 🤦🏻‍♀️

That’s a vintage 1950s potato ricer. Many uses.

Comfrey can help relieve pain and reduce inflammation in painful muscles/joints, speed the healing of bruises and contusions and has been traditionally used to treat tendon, ligament and muscle problems, fractures and wounds.

Thanks! It's so fun to share these weird rat beavers in our pond with you!
