In former times Symphytum officinale was even used interior until it was discovered that it contains Pyrrolizidinalkaloids which can cause severe damage to the liver. Therefore it is nowadays only used external.

Great idea! A mission with that topic would be wonderful!

If you go to the Mobile page and go to the bottom where it says contacts, You could write to either Peter or Yasser about your suggestion.
