My dear mum fractured her pelvis about a month ago and has been on pain relievers round the clock.. One evening, I found myself frustrated and angry at our medieval modern medicine.. feed the patient meds to keep the pain at bay..yet sometimes, the pain hits you with a vengeance regardless! I have long believed and known the power of homeopathy and decided to slowly introduce Symphytum officials into her system. Yesterday, her pain levels were between a 3-4. A winner in my book! I have read that comfrey contains silica and calcium, exactly what our bones need to become strong again.. Another win-win!
