        When dehydrating comfrey, are we dehydrating only the leaves or are we dehydrating the stems as well?  Thanks!

          It seems to me that comfrey doesn’t have much stem sticking out beyond the leaf. When I dry it, I just cut the leaves from the plant with minimal stem sticking out beyond the end of the leaf. But I don’t cut the stem out where it continues up the center of the leaf, if that makes any sense. I don’t think it really matters too much as basically the whole plant is medicinal even the roots.

            Stems are fine. Use it all.

            Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
