Get More Comfrey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comfrey is often called the miracle herb. It has been in use for several centuries, and references to the usage of this herb can be found in books dating back to the sixteenth century. The comfrey plant is found in abundance in Europe and regions of Asia, which have a temperate climate. It is commonly found in England, along the riverbanks, ditches and watery places, in general. A well-known plant of the Forget-me-not tribe, the plant stands erect, and is hairy all over.

The nutritive value of the comfrey plant is known to be almost comparable to several green leafy vegetables, which we consume regularly. Formerly, people in the villages cultivated this herb in their backyards as an asset in wound healing. In the middle ages, it was widely used as a cure for broken bones.

The many uses of the Comfrey plant are:
