The herb comfrey is BY FAR AND AWAY " the " herb for broken bones. This is really unusual. Most conditions, you look them up and there are 10 or 15 herbs commonly used, and different variations in each book. For broken bones, comfrey REALLY stands out. Listed everywhere I looked. It has a slew of " common names " like " knit bone " and " bone heal " and the like. If you read about it you'll find that there are a bunch of (IMO bogus) " warnings " about using it internally. I'm saying this as a heads up in case you want to look for this. Not that comfrey tastes especially great, (the tea is okay), but that I think the " controversy " is nothing to be concerned about. I heard a very very well known herbalist at a conference discuss cooking and blending up and drinking large quantities of the stuff (she had her leg broken in several places in an accident). It helped too. best, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
