Yes, comfrey is very nice. I lament the loss of my plants :(

One should be careful in consuming it. Some studies have shown that prolonged use can cause liver damage. Thus it is usually used externally, rather than internally.

For colds, garlic, garlic and garlic! Along with honey, ginger and cinnamon. And good ole home made chicken soup. That's my trick. Oh, and of course, herbal teas and green tea help perk you up.

ironically, I have recently succumbed to a sore throat! Doggone it.

Actually, there have only been 2 or 3 cases of liver damage with comfrey, and there is no other information on those cases as to the health of the persons before suppmenting, where the comfrey was obtained and what other pharmaceuticals were being taken with the comfrey. Personally, I wouldn't be too concerned about liver damage from comfrey. Dr. Christopher, http://www.herballegacy.com/, used comfrey in his bone, flesh and cartilage formula quite successfully in many cases mentioned in the link. I have used his bone, flesh and cartilage formula in a topical oil and internally in capsules to successfully straighten the torque in my lower back from scoliosis.

If I can ever find a comfrey plant, I'm going to plant it in my yard.

And don't forget wasabi. the BEST for nasal congestion, and for sneaking into unsuspecting people's food

Lady's fingers are very valuable for the treatment of sore throat and persistent dry cough because it is rich in mucilage and acts as a medicine to relieve the irritation, swelling and pain. Ginger is another natural anti-viral herbs that reduces pain and fever and a mild sedative effect, which contributes to a rest.

just wondering, what is wasabi ?

and Lady fingers ? I thought that was a dessert, like a cookie with filling in it ? or not ?

hot tea with a little brandy is good for sore throats

Wasabi is basically Japanese horseradish. They serve it as a condiment for Sushi and Sashimi.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru
