While slicing up rhubarb, i was thinking how tired i was when i sliced the tip of thumb. That sucker bled. Luckily i had a flap attached so cleaned it and pressed it back into place. A few hours later it was looking okay so i grabbed a stalk of comfrey and squeezed juice out of it and applied to the cut. Sounds silly but i can feel it healing.

Thatβs awesome!! The healing power of nature!
I have felt that before a few times with fresh plantain and with a blend of essential oils Iβve whipped up, and itβs definitely a really cool feeling.

Using comfrey to treat wounds should be avoided.
It will heal from the top down, which can trap dirt etc. under the skin, leading to infection/stop infections from draining.
You're probably ok using it on your thumb if it's a shallow wound just make sure it's clean.
But to be safe people should really only use comfrey for treating muscle injuries or broken bones where the skin is not broken
