Got comfrey? One of the many medicinal and nutritive plants to be grown on the homestead used both for leaf and root.

It's true that comfrey contains varying amounts of PA's (the root more so) and thus might seriously harm some folks with liver damage (especially with long term use), but skeptical herbalists disagree about tossing out hundreds of years of effective, traditional use. I suggest doing your own study and/or working with a clinical herbalist before using any herb internally. Comfrey is one of many on the regulatory agencies list to be cautious with.

Do you use comfrey in any way?
