As a kid that had bronchitis every year I used to drink a blend of orange juice with comfrey leaves. As an adult I make tea, and it works very well for coughing. A friend of mine that has been coughing for months decided to give it a try, and on his first cup of tea he stopped coughing and had a good night of sleep. It works.

Have always had a tendency toward phlebitis/thrombophlebitis. Made a warm poltice or soak from garden fresh or dried comfrey leaf and applied it to the area with a hot water bottle. Kind of a hassle, but worth it! After several soaks for a couple of days, all redness and/ or knotting of veins and pain was gone. Years ago, there was information on a study that comfrey had been shown to literally dissolve clots. Not sure of exact source. We also used it with other herbs (orally) to help with asthma and croup- children and adults. No side effects, no cancer, etc. HOWEVER, we had been told that herbal teas should almost never be used in strong solution.Read More Read Less

Have used three times on broken bones and fractures and serious car injuries where many bones in neck and collar bones were broken. Also for knee caps that were broken. It helped heal and knit bones within just a few uses, rub on skin where fracture is, and it heals very well very fast. Bed ridden to up and at em.

Fell and cracked a rib. A friend gave me symphytum officinale and overnight my pain level dropped from 8 to 2. Ordered some to always have on hand, then my nephew, who is studying to be a physicians assistant, asked me about my recovery, so I told him about symphytum. I started to do some further research online, so I could send him links,and found this info about the toxicity. Wow!! Will most likely return the order when it arrives. Even "natural" is toxic. Disappointed.

I have had all sorts of different pains and have used comfrey to treat them all. Bruises, joint pain, muscle aches, and foot pains have all healed overnight with a hot water soak with comfrey or a wrap with a comfrey leaf. I use a comfrey plant.

Wanted to try comfrey lotion or salve but can not due to my taking tegretol. Will seek other herbal or essential oil treatments.

I have found the Comfrey salve from Kauai Farmacy to be extremely helpful in reducing my pain from osteoarthritis. This particular salve has only 3 ingredients: comfrey, coconut oil and Kauai beeswax. The comfrey is organically grown and processed in small amounts. I highly recommend it.

Taking Boiron symphytum for broken bones post surgery. I think even a one-third does sped up bone healing but I am uneasy about reports of toxicity. Mostly everything I read, specifically about this company and this product, sounds ambiguous and hedged.

Since childhood I have a history of Cluster headaches, thunderclap headaches and migraines. Two years ago I learned about Comfrey. I immediately added it to my garden. This year I harvested leaves, and made a salve with coconut oil, lavender, Shea butter, & the tiniest amount of Melissa. At the onset of symptoms if any of the headaches or migraines I apply salve at temples, forehead, jaw, and neck. I am happy to say I have been pain free in my head for 8 months now. In fact I have noticed a decrease in frequency of reoccurring headaches and migraines. In addition I have shared this with other migraine sufferers I know and they have had the same results. Symptoms leave within 20 minutes usually less. Decrease in reoccurring migraines. Quicker recovery time after 3rd use. We have had similar positive results on 2 cervical & lumbar fusions . I cannot make this recipe fast enough some weeks. Read More Read Less

My dad put me onto making my own comfrey ointment for ongoing back and neck problems after he and mum had amazing healing benefits from using it. I had spinal surgery a year ago and still get pain. Made my first batch of ointment using coconut oil. Pain is eased within minutes of using. Simple to make and use, I recommend to anyone and everyone!

This treatment was used on our drop calves that had scours. They were down. WE mixed comfry tea, whole raw milk and honey. Bottle fed the calves and within 30 min. the calves were running around the pasture.

My family has used comfy for ingrown toenails. Toe was infected and painful. Soaked foot in warm water with a few leaves of comfry. about an hour two nites. Add comfy to Vaseline , apply to toe. Wrap with plastic and for overnight treatment. Never had the ingrown nail again. Also used on infection from boils. Pulls the infection out. Lay fresh leaves over area to be treated and wrap with warm cloth. Grow it every year.

Injured my finger while trimming hedges, I got lucky and only cut the tip but it was still a pretty deep wound and I've been using a comfrey mix since then. Six days later and it's half healed, showing no signs of infection and it's looking like the scarring is going to be be fairly minor. It'll be a good story for future kids to pay attention to what they're doing. Overall, it's a great medicine and my only complaint is that the base used to make the balm melts at temperatures over 65°F. I've noticed no side effects except maybe the laco of the characteritic itch that usually accompanies healing.Read More Read Less

I found out about comfrey years ago, and have been using it whenever I have a bad really bad spot or acne problem, in the oil form it has help sooth, quickly ease the scratching i was doing, most of the healing of the spot etc healed quickly and though they were bad spots etc most left no mark or scarring, I also used it on more than one time when I cut my fingers while peeling or paring veg, etc some again were quite, deep, I used comfrey oil, and left THE WOUND UNCOVERED THIS IS IMPORTANT,UNCOVERED, APPLIED AS MANY TIMES AS IFELT THE WOULD NEEDED WITH A FEW DAYS I HAD NEW PINK SKIN, AND NO SCARRING, it is an amazing treatment, on a foot ulcer I had I placed vaseline around the edge of the ulcer and comfrey actually on the ulcer, cleaning thoroughly each time I used comfrey, which must be left UNCOVERED, cleaned carefully and thoroughly using tea tree oil cream reapplied the comfrey oil and kept that up for three four times a day, and new skin formed it is a wonderful product, my kitten got in a scrap - one sided by an older cat of mine, and believe me it was bad, I took her to the vets and they said they need to cut the dead skin that was already stitched and applied comfrey to her wound, that had been stitched, took her back a week later and the vet was amazed how it had healed and another week later where her fur had been shaved to deal with the cut, it look like nothing had happened, it was healed so much, lovely pink skin & the fur grew back and you would never know anything had happened, I cannot advise people to use comfrey (with a combination of Tea Tree Cream) enough both are natures products and amazing really from a cut to cancer, please, please try it BUT UNCOVERED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE GILLYXRead More Read Less

Had trouble for years with hemoroids, comfrey has given amazing relief, better than any other ointment tried.

What bad side effects?

For over a year I have been using a Comfrey based salve on my right knee almost every night. It greatly relieves the ache. It does not cure the arthritis.

I used this treatment for a broken knee cap...it helped with pain within a day and the swelling went down....it was mostly healed within 4 weeks and the Dr allowed me to put weight on it and bend it a couple days later....I am impressed and will Def use it again
