Experiences with

Comfrey

So now i lie in the garden contemplating the fennel and the rocket and the comfrey the sage and the apple trees and all the patches that i neglected because of pain...and still the land gives its perennial gifts, that like this moment, are a resource, a moment to behold and to embrace...a nurturing instant

I wrote recently about my visit to ER and the "determination" that my cancer had spread to other bones. I was having extreme pain after hitting a wall while trying to stabilize (peeing take a while for me)with my head against the wall. ER CT scan showed no break. Subsequent DEXA scan shows good bone

Home for a bath and cover my knees in comfrey ointment 😊 Happy and trip free running everyone x

I've had Epsom salts baths and have applied various stuff like comfrey ointment and Biofreeze, as well as using my TENS machine..My arms and chest muscles are also painful.

Hey! I've bought Bathmate X30 and did some exercises, but with too much power because I made myself a huge injury. I was doing it together with Jelqing and Stretching, so it was like - jelq - bathmate (15 minutes) and stretching. We have now October 2019 and I was using it at the beginning of 2018. Okay

I’m using lots of comfrey and other herbs. Mineral salts. Tips anyone? Grumpy Jo....

I do drink filtered water and make up my own herbal teas out of herbs like nettle dandelion root Marshmallow comfrey etc. My wife and I take no drugs. We still enjoy life, take moderate exercise and I think are reasonably healthy. I see others around who are not so fortunate with their health.

Heard comfrey poultices have had good results. Anyone used them?

I have seen a poultice made of comfrey could help but not sure how to do it as it just said to soak leaves in hot water then make a poultice. There is a lot about knees if it is through injury but when I ask my Dr or the rheumy nurse they don't know what to say.

I went to bed very early, with comfrey ointment all over my feet and knees and hoped I would feel better this morning.

There are big clumps of Comfrey...also known as knit-bone...used since Roman times and maybe before, as a reliable means of ensuring that broken limbs set fast...Roman soldiers also used the leaves to stop their feet from aching on long marches...a couple of the broad leaves in the bottom of their sandals

I don't have the energy to fight weeds but if the ground elder wants to challenge my comfrey to a duel, we'll see who wins - and my money is on the comfrey.

Licorice, marshmallow, pleurisy root, thyme, coltsfoot, catnip, elecampane, gingko biloba, rosemary, comfrey, and mullein are all good choices whether alone or combined. Mullein is a favorite remedy for lung conditions and grows wild in the North Georgia Mountains.

I've got loganberries growing along a fence, which has strawberries and comfrey growing underneath it, with a rotted manure mulch. the strawberries and comfrey are packed in so tightly the ground elder (a huge problem in my traditional bed) is choked out and can't get a foothold.

I figure since comfrey is known to mend bones, it may do something for my open tubules that are causing extreme sensitivity. At this point i can only eat soup, ripe bananas and mash.

Lots of spring flowers in evidence too; cowslips, primroses, bluebells, comfrey, pink campion, saxifrage. It's a route I know reasonably well from walking so I had mentally mapped out some staging points - Hound Point tanker terminal, the white gates, Barnbougle Castle, the golf course etc.
