RE: Permaculture Test Plot Part 4 - Amazing Comfrey!
Looks like we have some things in common. Comfrey is one my all time favorite plants, truly an ally, she is.... What do you think about the controversy of taking it internally? I think its out of hand, personally. In moderation the tea is absolutely wonderful, so nourishing and healing. I make a salve with the roots and leaves as well. It is an excellent herbal for healing wounds, and postpartum care for women... New to Steemit here! Looking forward to following your blog!
Thanks! Yeah I think the dangers of taking it internally are way overblown. The actual studies done on it showed toxicity but the doses the rats were given were unreasonable. You would have to eat pounds of leaves a day.
