COMFREY for bruises and skeletal issues
-
Comfrey balm is my secret for preventing bruising, prolonged skeletal pain after injury. Never heard anyone in peat world talk about it. IDK if it is peaty but it has worked tremendously well for me. Especially when I was a child liberal application would prevent bruises from forming.

@wtpyrucet My dad said he used it when he was younger but he and his folks stopped bc it can cause liver damage. I don't know more than that tbh, some warnings are against internal use, some against both internal and external.

@wtpyrucet , There are quite a few posts on RPF related to comfrey and its high content of allantoin.
For example here is an interesting post:Title: what-hormones-are-involed-in-penis-growth-size.18417

There is a substance in Comfrey Root and Plantain called "Allantoin" which research shows accelerates cellular mitosis, which means it grows new tissue growth: "As some of its other names suggest, (knitbone, boneset) Comfrey has been prized since ancient times for its ability to help heal broken bones and damaged tissues. In modern times, it has been discovered that this is at least in part due to a substance in Comfrey called ‘allantoin’ that is able to accelerate cellular 'mitosis', meaning it speeds the process of new tissue growth." Richard Whelan ~ Medical Herbalist ~ Comfrey Root "~ Plantain has several active ingredients that contribute to its medicinal action; allantoin, a substance that is well proven to stimulate tissue regeneration through causing cells to divide more vigorously (via mitosis), aucubin, a substance with proven antibiotic actions and mucilage, a soothing, natural anti-inflammatory substance." Richard Whelan ~ Medical Herbalist ~ Plantain"

I broke my wrists last year skateboarding and after the cast it was still a bit painful especially on my right wrist.
I tried magnesium oil, k2... a lot of things. I finally tried comfrey balm and it did reduce my pain a lot.
If I had known, I would have applied it directly just after my "crash"
This winter my ex gf had very dry hands all the winter until she tried comfrey balm, it was way better after. Beat all the bs dry hands cream she used
