My daughter-in-law just broke her finger. She’s waiting to be seen by the specialist. Is it OK to start taking comfrey before her finger has been set? Or do you wait until the bone is lined up properly before you start taking Comfrey? Also, can you take herbs while you’re taking Advil or Motrin? She was in quite a bit of pain and took an Advil and now she’s worried that she can’t take herbs.

Hi Shelly,
I wouldn’t use Comfrey until after the bone has been set, as it’s a vulnerary and accelerates healing .
A comfrey poultice or salve can be applied topically, or a tincture of comfrey can be applied topically. Topical application won’t interfere with advil/motrin, or other medications taken internally.
Hope that your daughter-in-law’s pain has subsided, she’s had the bone set, and is healing well.

The only thing I can add to that I broke my ankle in January lots of ice.

You could spray hops on finger that will help with pain. My son cut off the tip of his finger that helped him a lot.

Geneva and Sherri are right. Hope the finger repair turned out well.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

If plates or pins are involved in the broken bone repair could comfrey still be used?
