I have a filly with a badly lacerated leg that got infected and she was on three legs. I made a large poultice with comfrey, honey, colloidial silver, and 4 cloves of garlic. She was on three legs and had a large pus pocket developing. After the poultice was applied (3 tbsp honey, 6 comfrey leaves, 1tbsp silver, 4 cloves garlic) and had vet wrap applied to hold it on, 20 hours later, the infection was gone, filly was not lame at a walk, and stood quietly for treatment with no flinching. I also gave her 15 cc of penicillin, but the penicillin would not have worked that well, that quickly.

Hi Brandy, Comfrey ointment/salves are great to have on hand around the home. On the Herbology site you can see a step by step article on how to make salves. Basically there are two different techniques involved with this method - first infusing the oil, then using the oil to make your salve. Another article will show you how to infuse oils. If you would like all the base recipes/method and techniques to make your own remedies you might like to invest in the Herbology At Home: Making Herbal Remedies book which has all this kind of information in one place for you.

I am loving comfrey. We made a salve that’s so much easier to use (and neater) than the poultice, although we do have frozen poultices in plastic bags in the freezer, which Ive used for burns.

Hi Jackie, that’s an interesting remedy. I have never heard of using comfrey for menstrual cramps, must look into it.

I do know that you have to be very careful when using comfrey internally to prevent liver toxicity and damage, and for this reason, this herb is subject to legal restriction in certain countries.
If your daughter suffers from this every month, have you tried using cramp bark instead of the comfrey? It helps ease uterine cramps but as a muscle relaxant also works on other areas of the body. If menstrual cramps continue there is also black haw bark which helps with more intense radiating pain.

I have made a tea of comfrey leaf, strawberry leaves and mint from my garden for my daughter who has very bad menstral cramps. It’s the only thing that gives her relief. A friend got this remedy from a lady in Kentucky.

Yes, applying Comfrey has proven time and time again, that it helps with muscle damage and skin disorders. My grandma made use of it many times, when I was a kid.
