Thank you so much for your insight and training !
I was first introduced to comfrey years ago, as a newbie herbal user. I still have that purchased little plastic bag of powder that I use on all my cuts. It has been my sacred healer for years and I have always treated it with utmost respect The kids at first said "ugh" to sticking their fingers in the bag and having the"dirt" powder cover the cut. Now they come a running.. As new and fascinated gardener, I just recently purchased a plant for my garden and your lesson from Aunt Bett came just in time. I probably would have had that leaf in my mouth at some point too. LOL xox
Thanks for another Aunt Bett story. They always take me back to my childhood. My, how things have changed! I wish the world could go back to those times!
Being very familiar with comfrey to this very day (have my own patch of it!) I was right at home reading this! And, again, the woods walking takes me back home to the Appalachians!
I'm helping a young friend (14) get a patch started. She makes goatmilk soaps and hopes to add comfrey to one of her varieties. I'll have to forward your article to her, Sharon, she'll love it!
