Looking for Comfrey roots. I put Yarrow and Chamomile on the page, SORRY everyone my fault. I'm human and mistakes are in our nature. (NO ONE IS PERFECT)

To clear up some misconceptions: First, comfrey does not have proven efficacy against tooth decay, either as a preventative or to reverse decay that's already underway. Safety as a mouth rinse is probably not a major concern apart from possible local irritation, if one is careful not to swallow any. Many responsible herbalists recommend against any internal use of comfrey because of the risk of pyrrolizidine alkaloid toxicity, implicated in some cases of acute liver failure and a concern for possible carcinogenicity. Oral formulations are banned in most countries for this reason. Young children are especially susceptible to toxicity from comfrey (even a few days of taking comfrey internally can be fatal). Contrary to what's been stated, acute liver failure is not a significant consideration when it comes to use of NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Tylenol (acetominophen, which can be hepatotoxic) is not an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) like aspirin or Motrin. Tylenol is not an anti-inflammatory agent - it works by a different mechanism than NSAIDS to reduce pain and fever. Used in proper dosage and not combined with other things that can damage the liver (i.e alcohol) it is a generally safe as well as effective drug. The real problem is when people take too much, which may happen when they combine or otherwise overdose on over-the-counter cold meds. The big difference between Tylenol and comfrey is that Tylenol is a proven effective drug. Comfrey may have limited value in topical pain control (when applied for limited periods on unbroken skin), but in general the claims made for it have not been backed by quality studies (something to consider when weighing a decision whether to ingest it). You cannot count on drying to significantly reduce the harmful alkaloids. Unfortunately, you also can't count on comfrey sellers to be knowledgeable and upfront about the composition of their products in our current, largely unregulated supplement market. I rarely take acetominophen, but feel a lot more confident about its safety than I do comfrey. And based on what we've seen already, if Americans began to ingest comfrey as commonly as they do acetominophen, it's extremely likely that comfrey would quickly pass acetominophen as the leading cause of acute liver failure in the U.S.

Great thing is about fermented tea brews is the relationship between the bacteria, fungi and nutritional uptake of the plant. It's very rare to overdose on a strong brew, plant intelligence becomes the doseatron meter and the plant will only uptake what it needs since the brew is 100% plant based and without synthetics the soil will just store the excess nutrients and the plant can ask for it later. With the research I've done while creating a system for large scale feeding with ferments, i let the brew do its thing for 1 week and dilute 1:50 - Brew:6.4 pH Water. Week 2 the ratio becomes 1:75. Week 3 the ratio is 1:100. The dilution rates are so high because I apply 3x a week: once as a foliar, two as soil drenches. The dilution rates are also based from a brew starting off with 55gallons of harvested plants, 1 gallon of lactic acid bacteria and 1 quart of kimichi juice. The bacteria breaks the plant material down so fast that by the end of week 3, it's pure liquid, perhaps only a hand full of what once was woody material left that is on it's way to be completely dissinegrated.

One of the things I do with comfrey when I have lots is to make a liquid fertilizer by letting them steep in a bucket of water for a few weeks. Then I filter out the remaining solids and pour the liquid into plastic 1 gal milk containers. What I'm wondering is how long it remains useful as a liquid fertilizer? Do the nutrients leached from the leaves remain viable for long periods when stored in these sealed containers? Anyone have any information or experience with using comfrey or something similar? Harry
