Symphytum officinale — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
One of the invaluable remedies of '* smashed and bruised humanity " is Symphytum—Comfrey : " Bone-set,”—” Healing herb.” For accidents, extravasations and bruises, we have quite a number of priceless remedies ; and, while any one on the list will be helpful in any and every case, whether in dilute tincture form, or freshly culled and infused, especially at its own season of perfection of growth and intensity of healing virtue, yet each one differs from all the rest in its relation to the several injured tissues. It may be useful to set forth the marked features of a few of the most common of these God-gifts for pain and disability. Arnica montana, whose very name emphasizes its habitat and functions. It is the ” Fall-krout ” of the mountains : and especially valuable for the repair of ” soft parts ”. Its great action is on blood, and blood vessels. It is invaluable for combating the effects of shock, mental as well as physical, and jar ; besides those of over-exertion and strain, and sprains. Arnica is so sore all over and so tender to touch, as to be in terror of approach. It is used internally, always ; also externally, provided the skin is not broken ; in which case it has acquired an evil reputation for provoking inflammation of an erysipelatous nature. Here it is safer to employ, externally, any one of the others. Calendula. Marigold, which, in addition to its ample vulnerary qualities, stimulates life mechanisms to the prevention or cure of Sepsis. Greatly esteemed in the surgery, and in the midwifery of homoeopaths. Bellis perennis.
