Hello,

I want to support someone with a hiatus hernia. I’m wondering if, in a tincture to be taken internally, I can substitute the Comfrey with wide-leaf Plantain to have similar results. Also, I’ve read that messaging a Shepherd’s Purse tincture externally to the area of the hernia several times a day can help. I’d love to know your thoughts on this.

Also, when looking at the formulas for tinctures, is it best to make individual herb tinctures and then combine them in the appropriate amounts, or to add the individual herbs together all at once to create the tincture?

Thanks in advance,
Mary
