Make a nettle infusion - 1 ounce herb in a quart jar, cover with boiling water, infuse 4 hours or overnight. Drink this throughout the day. Can add other herbs for flavor - mint, lemon. Infuse comfrey the same way, but I would use mostly nettle internally, comfrey externally.
Whole food vitamin C such as rose hips, camu camu, amla. I mix these but you can buy a similar formula from Synergy Co.
Raw honey can be applied to the wound for healing. I would also add lots of garlic to the diet.
Hope these help. (I'm an herbalist)

My husband made some recently into a solution and mixed it with DMSO (a horse linament, but an excellent absorbing carrier oil/solvent basically). That's a bit more complicated...You make a fairly heavy comfrey tea, allow it to cool, strain it, mix it with the DMSO. That creates an exothermic reaction, so you have to allow it to cool. Once it does, it's ready for use/storage in a jar. Just rub it on the effected area.

To often people think that the magic fairy of a herb will heal you from the inside because of some vague whoo-ish claim. In essence it's all about biochemistry. We use the natural chemical makeup of certain plants to influence our body's processes. And in this, less if often more with either herbal or regular medicine, and interactions are a real thing.

Comfrey
Astringent, Cell Proliferant, Demulcent
The book describes a study that showed liver damage in rats. Hence the many cautions on using it orally. A few places suggest if using orally to include a liver support supplement as well. Use caution!

I have plantian, yellow dock, dandelion, comfrey and mullien easily obtainable. Any recipies for healing? If comfrey is taken internally, what herbs will defend the liver from damage?
How much bone broth for medicinal use?
Thank you, Joy

Could you ask him for roughly the ratio of tea to DMSO? And did he use the gel, or the liquid?

We are about 6 weeks away from surgery.
Dandies are just big enough to start harvesting greens. But not so big as to be worth drying... I think fresh is how I'll need to use them. Lots of dock to dry though.
I've seen recommendations of using from two to three times the volume of fresh herbs to equal dry amounts. What say you?
Thank you wise Permies, for the great comments here. Please keep them coming. We need him to get back to work as soon as possible after surgery. Whole and healthy, ready for physical labor.
