13. Contrary to what you'll hear some so-called experts say, many herbals from trustworthy
suppliers, not full of weeds and fillers, can be extremely powerful even in low doses. Otherwise why would there be so many warnings against taking some of them with certain prescription drugs???? That's not aimed at you, btw, but rather the snotty naysayers.
Comfrey is one such herb. People using it excessively caused negative press and I'm not even sure its still on the market. I haven't had to buy since moving here and finding a big patch in my yard. I simply dry the leaves and make a weak tea a couple times a week. But then I don't need it at higher levels after so many years. Your doctor may or may not agree with its use at all, but I hope you are able to benefit from its healing properties. If so, just remember less is more with this one. |
