Bone reinforcent potion

My apothecary that is based in my city is one I would suggest for anyone to buy their herbs from. I've been a customer for many years. Smallflower.com
And she carries everything you'd ever need! A good source is really very important when purchasing herbs and roots.

I always have a container of comfrey root on hand because you never know when you may need it! It heals any wounds and burns extremely fast though, and if there is infection and that isn't tended to, it can heal it inside, so if you use it topically, you really need to include a natural antibiotic, I use thyme and raw honey in combination. Drinking the tea along with topical use for serious injury is a wonderful pairing by hitting the injury from the inside and out. And its also great for cold and flu.

The wonderful thing about comfrey is that it heals everything, tendon, muscle, bone and tissue when using topically and internally. Topically it has the ability to still absorb into the skin and heal the bone! Baths in comfrey are great for the skin too. There is so much that comfrey can do, it's sad that people are now being told not to use it. It's happened to many herbs, and it will continue to happen.

Look at aloe vera. It has cured cancer, can combat hepatitis, and is so healing internally and externally that it is also a wonder herb. But it has toxicity! The facts you won't find easily is the fact that in the correct amounts it won't hurt you. Everything is toxic in excess, you can even get water poisoning by drinking more than your body can handle. Too much salt, too much alcohol, too much iron all can kill you. Too much of anything is a bad thing. The key is moderation and be sure that what you are putting into your body is right for you. Always check for "contraindictions", which means the people with certain diseases and health problems should avoid that herb, and what not to mix with that herb (prescriptions).

And if anyone needs help figuring out an alternative herb due to contraindictions that prevent them from taking the one that will help them, feel free to pm me. I don't claim to be a "doctor" but I am well versed in herbal medicine and I can give you my recommendation. Of course if you have any health problems or take medication for mental or physical problems, even over the counter, you should always ask your physician before adding any internal herbal treatment.

Thankyou :)

The truth is that every medicine, including foods, has a theraputic/toxic window. The fact that toxicity exists is what makes something a medicine. There is recent research into herbs that is uncovering information we didn't know before. There have always been states of alarm about substances, that later calm down. Perhaps this is what is happening in herbal medicine, now it is more in mainstream scientific consciousness :)

I totally agree.
