149:5.2 Have you not read in the Scriptures the words of the wise man, `The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts'? And also that such spirit-led mortals say: `The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a goodly heritage.' `A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked,' for `a good man shall be satisfied from within himself.' `A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance and is a continual feast. Better is a little with the reverence of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fatted ox and hatred therewith. Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without rectitude.' `A merry heart does good like a medicine.' `Better is a handful with composure than a superabundance with sorrow and vexation of spirit.'

Comfrey (Symphytum officinale)

Parts used: leaf and root

Properties:  Dumulcent, Expectorant, Mucilage, Vulnerary; alterative, astringent, nutritive.

Body Parts affected: bones and muscles, general effects on whole body

Comfrey is a powerful remedy for coughs, catarrh, ulcerated bowels, stomach and lungs.  It is one of the best remedies for internal bleeding anywhere in the body.  Use a strong decoction for bleeding and to build new flesh during wasting diseases.  It is excellent for dysentery and helps regulate blood sugar levels.

As a poultice, bruise the fresh leaves and apply to burns, wounds, open sores, gangrene and moist ulcers. 

The dosage is 2 ounces of the decoction several times a day for internal hemorrhaging.  Comfrey is a cell proliferator and will help heal broken bones, sprains and slow healing sores.

Note from Lindianne:  Comfrey leaf and comfrey salve heals bruises quickly.  In the garden, it's roots go down ten to twelve feet so it brings minerals up to fertilize the topsoil.  I grow comfrey, cut it, compost it (it enriches the compost pile), feed it to chickens (or rabbits), chop it for mulch, grow and cut again many times in one season.  We are very excited to discover comfrey is a common plant in Africa.
