Following a car accident and surgery on my knee in 1994, months after surgery my knee remained so swollen that my range of motion was very limited and my MD said whatever range I was able to achieve in the next month would be all I would ever have. I was taking Motrin and trying to force it to bend when a friend came by with some fresh comfrey root that he told me to chop up and put on my knee overnight. The next morning after months of no change I was amazed to see wrinkles in my knee and could bend it far more than I had. I never got full range of motion but I'm thankful for comfrey for what I have!<br /> I have been using a food processor to chop up the comfrey and adding Tiger balm but end up with a ball that is hard to form a poultice, a little too rubbery. That's with fresh root. with frozen root it doesn't hold together well. Thanks for any suggestions for anything to add to the root for consistency or efficacy.

The leaves are up to you but I have found over 50+ years that comfrey is a wonderful healer. I use a combination of good old fashioned poultice and drinking the infusion when I have any bad muscle, tendon, or bone problem. For example, years ago I had very painful planter fastiitis. The podiatrist said to start codeine shots. Instead I went home and used a comfrey poultice made from a bunch of dried leaves steeped for >4 hours. Made a fresh batch each night and put it on the foot for about 2 hours the next evening, every evening for a week. I drank the liquid the leaves had been steeped in (an herbal infusion) as well. After the week the pain was gone and it has never come back.
