Is boneset the same herb as comfrey?
Dear Stephen,
I have started taking boneset and it really helps me with symptions. My question is: are boneset and comfrey the same thing? People have sent me info that it is the same and that comfrey has negative side effects. Could you please give me some feedback on this? I am a bit concerned. Blessings to you.

Stephen’s response:
Boneset and comfrey are NOT the same, not even close, so there are no worries there. Boneset is a great herb and really useful for conditions such as lyme.

(Note from editor: Comfrey is also known as knitbone, for it’s ability to knit together tissues and promote cell growth—this may be the source of the confusion.)
