It is my understanding that comfrey can cause liver damage if taken orally and even then I don't know at what dosage. I have used comfrey cream for years topically. I don't think there are any contraindications to using in cream form.

Mom was reading the label and it said it could cause liver damage and possible death on it. Now mom is freaking out...any idea's on what I can tell her to make her feel it is okay to use the product on dad? thanks much Debbie
