Do you know where the native comfrey plant grows? It doesn't have the alkaloids that Russian and American comfrey has. I think I saw some growing in the Ela valley; maybe I'm mistaken. Or the Ben Shemen forest. I kept a comfrey plant thriving on my windowsill for 4 years - would only harvest the leaves, for herbal remedies. I would so much love to bring another one home.

Sorry, but I've never seen comfrey growing wild in Israel. I wan't even aware that it grows here naturally, and it doesn't appear in the local foraging guides. Let us know if you find in anywhere!

Thanks. Past and present are on the same arc of time, and nature has a way of tilting the edges closer.
