this is great food and medicine, 15% protein. I healed a fractured foot in days with a hot soak in comfrey and Epsom salt. It helps bruises, burns. loads of uses, chickens and animals like it. I know they say it's carcinogenic, you should read the actual study and method.
It seems to be more common further south but I could be wrong because I've only ever seen this plant the day I filmed this video after looking for it for years and I finally found it just south of Bloomington.
I should do that and try to grow it at home for my native area I'm planting. I know right where it was growing because it was only like 100 or so yards from my car on a gravel road in a park. It'll be really easy to access.
@@TrilliumWildEdibles I bought ans planted comfrey from an etsy store and have a nice little crop going now ever since I used it for an ulcer I got on my leg during pregnancy, the pain relief was incredible
I think you confused the uses of real comfrey with this plant which is not related to comfrey in any way. Native Americans used it for a wide variety of ailments different from what traditional comfrey is used for. I grow regular comfrey and sell a ton. Its quite a lot different from this.
In everything I've read its uses are the same even though the plants aren't related and indeed look very different. Do you have a link to more information that says otherwise because I'd love to read it. It's always important to learn as much as possible.
@@TrilliumWildEdibles I just did a basic google search. Even the preparations are quite a bit different. Apparently the root of this plant was boiled and used. Regular comfrey, Symphytum officinale, is mainly used as a poultice externally although extracts are sometimes used. I don't recommend my comfrey for internal use.

Where can I find the actual study:please
You could probably replant a couple of them in your garden. Thank you God bless you Maranatha
Ive definitely seen that many times here in the North Vernon/Brown County area.

Maybe you could flag it in some way so you can go back and harvest some seeds when they are ripe. :)

@@mysticmeadow9116 I should try to make sure I'm actually finding comfrey as I usually see them without the bloom

I know there's at least five different types of comfrey.
@@MrDanrn999 but is comfrey? Or each type has different benefits for ailments?
