All sensible suggestions there. Next time I break my feet, I may try comfrey, in a topical form.

Without trying to swing the thread sideways, don't lump hebal and homeopathic remadies together. Most of our drugs are derived from plants, so all a herbal remadey is doing is giving you the drug, or a variant of it to you in a diluted form, anlong with some other bits that may do anything between tasting nice to poisioning you.....

Homeopathy, is, as far as anyone can tell, simply faith healing. People belive this expensive water will cure them, so they get better, just like they can belive the preist has driven the evil spirt causing their back to hurt out.

There has never been a properly done, double blind study that supports it working. The concentraitions used are so low there may be one molecule of the active ingrediant in one in a thousand doses, or even less in the 'best' ones. It belongs in the same category as horoscopes, ie it cannot be actively disproved, but no objective eveidence for it exists, and no mechinism has ever been sensibly suggested
