Steve noted that Symphytum is NOT recommended for oral use at herbal

doses because it can be hepatotoxic.

 

I agree. But I suspect that Are is talking about HOMEOPATHIC doses. Is

that correct Are?

 

IMO, homeopathic doses of Symph should have no hepatotoxic effect, and

in homeopathic theory, a known hepatotoxin would counteract liver toxicity in

homeopathic doses.

 

Best regards,
