چکیده
Homeopathy, the “energy medicine”, is a branch of medical science based on the principle that disease can be cured by strengthening the body’s defense mechanism with substances selected for their energygiving properties [1]. Symphytum officinale is the homeopathic remedy prepared from the common hedgerow plant comfrey. Comfrey’s ancient English name is “knitbone”, and it is said that country bonesetters used it to repair broken bones. The story is that the bone would be set and then comfrey leaves would be bound to the area around the fracture with bandages.
