Medicinal Herbs

Comfrey is an herb for external use only. It helps to promote new cell growth, and it helps wounds heal, since it contains allantoin. You can cover your wound or cut with a leaf, and then use a bandage to hold the leaf in place. Interestingly, this has been used since medieval times for treating bruises and broken bones!

Senna is one of those natural and herbal remedies that you won’t be tempted to drink too much of, because it tastes awful. Purchase it commercially, in a tincture. Don’t take any more than the label recommends, to avoid abdominal pai

Uva Ursi is an herb that is often used in addition to other medicinal products. It is a bitter herb, and it is used mainly as a diuretic and a urinary antiseptic. If you use this herb in a tea, add one teaspoon for each cup, and boil the tea for ten minutes. You can drink two or three cups a day.
