It should, It is a weed most places. Buy the Russian comfrey roots and plant them there. They sell them on Ebay. Ask around locally, and see if anyone has some down there. It is AMAZING! I have healed deep bruises, over night with it. I used it on five brown recluse bites in about an inch, that was swollen up about an inch high.
My shoulder was hurt in a car wreak, and I had repairs done on it; that didn't help much. Comfrey not only relieved the throbbing, but healed enough damage, I have been able to sleep on that shoulder every since I used it that first time!

That's amazing! I've always used arnica on bruises, but that's hard to get here. They may have a different name for comfrey if they have it. Plants here have colorful names like Jackass Bitters. I'll see what I can find out. So good to know of something that powerful. Please let me know when you do posts on preparing it.

It takes weeks to make, but it is worth the work, and I will post it! It is called knit bone, (in latin) syphitum officinalis, or sometimes...bone knit.
Here are my notes on Comfrey (kind of rough info):
Comfrey Knit bone (in latin) syphitum officinalis
allintoin is the active ingredient
volnerary (accelerates healing) a cell proliferant
stimulates cell division and decreases healing time
Stimulates hyaluronic acid which is the mortar the body uses to bind cells together
Smaller scars once healed
expectorant
muscillage content high (GI problem, ulcer healing)
burns
bladder irritation
wounds
internal use is relatively safe.
Easy to grow and spreads (russian comfrey is easier to contain)
Symphytum officinale-Common use: tea for temporary bone, cartilage, tendon and muscle discomfort, as well as to soothe irritated skin, prevent infection and relieve pain.

Awesome. I definitely want to read that one, and I know several others on the ecotrain would definitely be interested.

Arnica is a flower, you should plant some. I am planting some flowers, that are for medicine, and pretties. Echinacea, black eyed susans, fever few, and Chammomile to start. Already planted Comfrey!

Thats a good list. We have lemongrass down here, so i definitely want to plant some of that. Already have a couple moringa trees. Just need a piece of land to put them down in.

I use Moringa every day! So come up here and plant them on my land, and we will transplant them when you get you land bought, (soon I hope) and are ready, and they are big! ROFLOL!
My Son loves Belize! He has been down there twice, and looking to go again.
I use the lemongrass oil to attract honey bees!

Moringa is amazing. At the insurance office there's a tree that's a solid 20 ft. It's so gorgeous! And they're so easy to replant! I wonder if they would grow where you are? Where are you exactly?
I fell in love with Belize many, many years ago and moved here in 2015. Where has your son visited? I really want to get into honey bees, but I'm not even close to ready for that.

I love Moringa! The first I got, was sent to me by a good friend in Kenya. I tried it, and it worked so well, I bought it in bulk.
I live in NE Oklahoma (Tulsa) I intend to plant Moringa here, but it will not get very large, according to what I have read.
I am not sure where he went in Belize, I think it was two different locations. One was a hotel in the rainforest I think.

It's a really amazing plant. I guess it doesn't do as well in the cold.
There's some incredible rainforest here. Then some awesome islands and what remains of the reef.

I intend to build a greenhouse that is mostly underground. I intend to grow tumeric and Moringa inside it. The Walipini design, combined with an Earth Battery; for heating and cooling, should give me a year round growing season.
