A poultice is applied to the

Maybe you could explain how something applied to the skin could benefit any
internal part without getting into the blood stream, and, therefore, going
through the liver.

You didn't post my entire words, so that was pretty sneaky. At any
rate, there are countless prescription drugs on the market right now
which are absorbed by patch, through the skin. Ever hear the term
systemic?

Also, if you would have read what I said, it goes like this:

"I would NEVER ingest comfrey as it is rather toxic to the liver."

In the first part of my op I said YEARS AGO people prescribed the
poultice.
