Thank you for visiting Herbs and Oils Hub!!
In this article, Sheila explains how she made a poultice of comfrey and calendula for her swollen ankle and what the effect was. Interesting article! Click on the How to Make a Comfrey and Calendula Poultice link below to read Sheila’s article.
Please Note: Comfrey is a bit controversial. Because Comfrey also contains some toxic alkaloids, I would personally only use it externally and for a limited amount of time. I’ve seen recommendations that comfrey be used externally for no more than 10 days at a time and no more than 4 to 6 weeks out of the year.I also wouldn’t use it on an open wound. I know there are many people who drink comfrey tea or have used comfrey on open wounds. Since different people react in their own unique way to herbs, I would rather err on the side of caution and use it topically on closed skin only.
