Well known as a gardener’s best friend, Comfrey proves itself to be a useful ally in a variety of situations.<\/p>
It is an extremely resilient plant. Very easy to cultivate. I like to grow a bunch in bins behind my fence.<\/p>
Comfrey leaves concentrate high amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium — all very nourishing to plant life. <\/p>
Comfrey provides an excellent boost to the health of your garden. Applications include putting comfrey leaves at the base of the roots of seedlings and transplants, using as a mulch layer, mixing into compost, etc… <\/p>
Used topically as a salve or poultice, Comfrey facilitates healing and can help treat muscle pain and inflammation. <\/p>
Uses in Doll Crafting<\/strong><\/p> Comfrey leaves are thick and fibrous, so they dry very well. <\/p> They are durable enough to split through the middle and drape over the shoulders of my plant dolls. They also look great tied around the waste as robes. <\/p> Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs <\/em>cites the folk belief that carrying around Comfrey offers protection while travelling. <\/p> It’s quite natural to associate this with Comfrey’s ability to help treat injuries. <\/p> One could even see this characteristic of providing aid through touching the skin through quite a sympathic lens when it comes to dollmaking, if they wished. <\/p> To me, Comfrey represents resilience and support. The way it helps a system optimize its own resources makes it a charm of a plant. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well known as a gardener’s best friend, Comfrey proves itself to be a useful ally in a variety of situations.
