Hi Mikal and all
My father worked in the Coal mines all his life and was injured in a fall of
rock once... his doctor asked if we grew Comfrey and when told that we did,
he prescribed a 'comfry poultice' which my mother made up and wrapped around
his knee.... apparently it helped to reduce the swelling and bruising....
this was 30 years ago and I don't remember (if I ever knew) the method of
making a comfry poultice... but Dad/Mum and the Doc reckoned it worked,
there was some talk/publicity a while ago about comfry being toxic to
humans, but the image of Dad regaining the full use of his knee with just
the help of a few leaves, has stayed with me to this day.
