Comfrey
Comfrey : Also known as Blackwort, Bruisewort, Gum plant, Healing herb, Knitback, Salsify, Slippery root, and Wallwort. Used as an anodyne, astringent, demulcent, emollient, expectorant, hemostatic, refrigerant, and/or vulnerary. Makes a good gargle and mouthwash for throat inflammations, hoarseness, and bleeding gums. Drink it to take care of most digestive and stomach problems, for intestinal difficulties, for excessive menstrual flow, and to stop spitting blood. Powdered rootstock can also be taken internally for bloody urine (hematuria), leucorrhea, diarrhea, gastro-intestinal ulcers, dysentery, and persistent coughs. Externally, use the powder as a hemostatic agent, and make a poultice for bruises, insect bites, wounds, and sores. The hot pulp of the rootstock makes a good external application for bronchitis, pleurisy, pain and inflammation of pulled tendons. Add the rootstock to your bath water regularly for younger looking skin
