Last week we made a simple paste from comfrey roots (harvested at our friends the Royal Edinburgh Community Gardens http://royaledinburghcommunitygardens.wordpress.com/
Comfrey is great at healing bone wounds and scars and one of its old names was 'knitbone'. It is applied externally to the wound as a poultice and wrapped in muslin. Ours is currently being tested by a woodwork volunteer who is recovering from a broken leg.
