    My sister has diabetes and keeps getting her fingers amputated because of infection etc ..she was seeing a specialist and he booked her in for another amputation..I made some comfrey salve and she applied it around 4 times a day..within 10 days this abcessed finger was healed..specialist couldn't believe it and was then very interested in learning more about this wonderful herb ..God is so good and has given us the means to heal ourselves through nature..

    Comfrey is amazing. I dropped a concrete stepping stone on my big toe. No shoe. I was convinced it was broken. I wrapped a comfrey leaf around my toe and taped it up. Left it on for 2 hours. I went to bed and it the morning there was hardly any pain and my toe could bend with no trouble. I also asked my church to pray for healing. So since God made Comfrey. It is all God.

    Several years I got kicked in the leg by our bull right below the knee. It re-arranged my vericose veins and of course caused thrombosis and hurt like heck. I hobbled out to the comfrey patch, picked a gob, brought it to kitchen, beat to a pulp, slathered it on wet towel and put on leg while I reclined on couch. Changed the mash as necessary for a couple days. Totally healed up the vericose veins!

    My left ear was packed hard with wax, the doctor tried flushing but the procedure was painful and I still had trouble hearing. I soaked a cotton ball with comfrey oil and left it in overnight, by morning the comfrey has drawn the wax out onto the cotton ball. Not to be gross it was loaded with wax, I was happy to cancel my doctors appointment. I had never heard of this healing property.

I hope your friend uses that information! we really need that tree to come back. it would make sense that the comfrey protects that tree as an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal herb. what whipped out American chestnut was a fungus.

    I used it when I have a sty on my eyelids. I promise you this works. I put leaf or two in hot water and let it steep. When it’s warm enough I then take the leaf and place it on my eye for about ten minutes. I repeat the process until the water gets cool. It will give you relief almost immediately. The sty will disappear within 24 hours.

    I had bad eye allergies last week - rubbed them too much and think one ended up infected - woke up it was swollen and eyelid all red and painful. My mom sent me this video and I immediately picked and blended comfrey leaves. Spread the gelatinous glob on my closed eye, lay down and let it sit there for 30 minutes. Felt soothed. Next day eye is all healed! Only other thing I did was rinse with saline. Used some of the extra leftover goo to spread on paper towels and covered with wax paper and put in freezer, so it'll be ready next time I have an injury. Thanks for sharing! Worth a try for sure!

    First aid is not "practicing medicine" 😉. Anyway, I think it's good to break cartels. I try to avoid the medical institutions like the plague and have used home remedies for things that "the people who know" said can only be cured with conventional treatment. That also applied to pets and plants. In my experience, conventional medicine has often caused more harm than good. Beneficial life-style changes can also be very effective "treatment", and is certainly the best prevention.
    I had very painful tennis elbow once from overdoing a job and used comfrey ointment on it. I swear, it was gone the same day.
    Two cautions about comfrey. Best not take it internally, especially on a regular basis. It can cause nasty reactions in some people. My father drank one cup of tea and had violent heart palpitations. It also contains a cumulative harmful substance which can cause liver damage. Secondly, if you want to plant it, go for a variety that does not spread, as it can be very invasive. I think the variety is "russian Bocking 14".
    I planted a couple sweet chestnut saplings about 21 years ago. They are pretty large trees now. Unfortunately they didn't start carrying nuts when supposed to, but two years ago I saw the first catkins. Alas, the wind knocked them all off, as it did last year. However, it produces a lot of foliage which is highly flamable when dry. I've managed to get a flame from using a magnifying glass near the bottom of the leaf, holding it vertical. All other leaves or paper will just smolder. Great tinder/firelighter for the wood stove. The flip-side is, in dry conditions the dead leaves could be a fire hazard, but as they are somewhat fragile, they quickly break down, especially if walked over or, better, added as "brown" to the compost.

    It certainly is a VERY VERY good and ALL ROUND HERB but should not be used on deep wounds, because it causes rapid healing ,and therefore causes the outside to be healed while the inside is not, which can result in gangrene..but is great for small or light wounds...PEACE

    I'm trying to grow comfrey myself for the first time this year. However, to comment on your video, from what I've read about it, once it's growing as prolifically as it's growing in your yard you won't be able to get rid of it because of the deep tap roots that they have. But maybe keep it trimmed down until your chestnut tree grows tall enough that the comfrey won't interfere with it's growth.

    • @herrickkimball
      @herrickkimball  9 місяців тому

      I completely cut my comfrey patches down to the ground a couple times a year and use the foliage as a fertilizer in my garden. You’re right that it is hard to get rid of once established. If I ever want to eliminate it I’ll cover with black plastic for a year, or longer if needed. I’ve used black plastic to remove other hard-to-eliminate plantings. It does the job. Good luck with your comfrey patch.

      You can still buy comfrey salves in the US and UK, but you can no longer buy comfrey remedies for internal use (capsules etc) as that's been banned in US and Europe due as there's a risk of liver cancer. That said, I doubt there's any risk from using comfrey as an occasional treatment for a scratched cornea.
