Comfrey Compress<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The colloquial name for comfrey is \u201cknit-bone\u201d. I have seen reports that using this compress this can aid healing remarkably, knocking off as much as two thirds of the healing time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Directions<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Place two handfuls of dried comfrey leaf into a large glass bowl.
\nBoil two litres of water and pour onto the dried comfrey.
\nCover with a plate (so the oils do not evaporate off).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let stand for 15 minutes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When cooled, thoroughly soak a piece of cloth (towelling is fine).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wring out excess moisture.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Apply to bruised area or to the skin immediately over where the bone is broken.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cover with some dry cloth (to keep the heat in and prevent spillage).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Leave in contact with the area for 20-30 minutes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Repeat twice each day, more often if desired.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
