My 76 year old mother fell Friday. She finally went to the ER and is still there. The diagnosis is several broken ribs. She’s on LOTS of meds on a daily basis plus the pain meds they’ve added. I’ve done a quick search on the search feature and can’t find what I’m looking for. I’m fairly new to the course and don’t have lots of things at my disposal. I do have some comfrey powder. What can I make quickly and easily to give her to help with pain and help her ribs heal quicker?

So I’m pretty timid on giving people herbs internally when they are on different medications. However, things topically should be just fine. You could do a comfrey poultice or tincture spray to help speed up the healing, and perhaps a hops tincture spray to help with the pain. Those are two things that have really helped me in the past with healing and pain

Greg, thank you. I’m aware of not doing things internally. But I also don’t have time to make a tincture. The weeks it needs to sit is too long. I haven’t made anything myself with herbs, only easy made products. I as hoping to have someone easily explain what I could do quickly with the dried comfrey.
