I don't know if this is any help or not. I asked a similar question (Pain medication Question [http://www.mrssurviv...e=1#Post234565] - I have degenerative arthritis of the spine). If you look at the replies, Comfrey was mentioned, as well as the cautions for it.

ambergris and campy...thank you both for your replies. i had already seen your question, campy, and read the replies and ambergris, he has tried the valerian. helped some. the herbs are a totally new field to us and there is so much out there
that we would like to learn. went to a GNC store close by and found a huge book with just about anything you would need to know. he has been going through it daily and also looking on the net. thanks again...marie

I've been researching herbs and their uses and one of the best sites I've found is the Plants for a Future Database. They have an incredible search engine, including one that you can search herbs by their medicinal uses. The link above takes you to the search I did for anondynes (relaxants/pain relievers)
