Yeah, comfrey. The blessed comfrey! It was Dr C's formula of powdered comfrey, wheat germ oil and honey. I hit my finger so hard it popped the nail right out of the bed, off the cuticle. Pow! And cut the bottom of the finger 2/3 of the way through from the crunch. When I got the bleeding stopped, and I quit cussing, I wrapped it up with that formula. I used VetWrap - the animal wrap that is elastic and sticks to itself, but nothing else. I love that stuff. I had to keep it wrapped for months before the nail grew out - a friend who is a nurse swore I would loose the nail, but I didn't. Because of the honey, there was no pain after the first hour. Also I massaaged my whole hand and arm towards my heart to get rid of swelling and promote fresh blood to the area.I could not hold the hammer with both hands. I was trying to pound a pin into the hydraulic arms of a tractor to hook up a diac. I was in an awfully twisted position, and got clumsy.But it is healed now.Gayla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Oh, yes! Comfrey and Goldenseal. If there is a wound that has no open sore or bleeding, I'll use Arnica as well. And if there is a lot of bleeding, as this was, Cayenne powder to stop it, then rinse with Tonic.
