Is there any other herbal potion I could have used to aid the rehabilitation of such an event. In 1998 I fell and broke both of my wrist, right thumb and had a torn ligament on my right hand. After stitches were taken out, I have been using a comfrey poultice wrap for 2 hours at night. My doctor said my collarbone was healing really well and I wouldn’t need surgery.

Lynda Makara from California on October 09, 2016: Can you tell me how long it took for your husband to be completely healed, pain free and with the same range of motion as before the accident? Within two days, the infection and soreness would be totally gone. If you get the chance to plant some comfrey and grow your own plants, I suggest you do it. We also made sure he ate the right kind of foods to aid healing as well. Comfrey poultice was applied to the ankle and left for about six hours before washing it off.

Then he wrote my formula down and asked me how to grow or get Comfrey. They are both extremely helpful when recovering from broken bones. And can I use to much comfrey? I don’t know why but they like sneaking up behind me and then lay down. I suggest you try Mobicosa capsules and/or gel ~ as long as you're not pregnant or allergic to seafood.
