Comfrey Tea IS NOT FOR DRINKING. BUT

Comfrey tea is a nutrient-rich liquid made by steeping comfrey leaves in water. It is used strictly as an organic fertilizer for garden plants like tomatoes and peppers, and should not be consumed by humans due to toxic liver-damaging compounds.
AND
Dried comfrey is used externally in salves and oils to soothe bruises, sprains, and joint pain.

The thing about turmeric:

Black pepper is required because the active compound in turmeric, curcumin, has notoriously poor bioavailability, meaning your body naturally struggles to absorb and use it.When you consume turmeric on its own, your digestive system and liver rapidly break down the curcumin and eliminate it from your body before it can ever reach your bloodstream or travel to your eyes.The Power of Piperine:
*2,000% absorption boost: Black pepper contains an active alkaloid called piperine. Studies have shown that combining a small amount of piperine with curcumin increases turmeric's absorption rate by up to 2,000%.
*Disabling the liver's filters: Your liver naturally uses a process called glucuronidation to tag foreign compounds for immediate disposal. Piperine temporarily disables the enzymes responsible for this process, letting the curcumin slip into your bloodstream untouched.
*Opening cellular doors: Piperine relaxes the intestinal wall and suppresses the specific cellular pumps that usually push curcumin straight back out into your gut lumen, allowing more of the compound to stay in circulation.

ARROWROOT

*Arrowroot is a fine, tasteless white starch extracted from the underground rhizomes of tropical Maranta arundinacea plant
*It serves as an excellent, all-natural, plant-based anti-caking agent because its fine starch particles naturally coat other ingredients to repel moisture and prevent clumping. It is widely used as a premium alternative to synthetic chemicals (like silicon dioxide) or grain-based starches (like cornstarch)
*It is widely used as a gluten-free, paleo-friendly thickening agent for sauces, soups, and gravies, serving as a clear-finish alternative to cornstarch
*Leaves sauces glossy and transparent instead of cloudy
*Low-temp thickening: Activates at lower temperatures than cornstarch or flour
*Acid tolerant: Maintains thickening power in acidic mixtures like fruit pie fillings
*Freezing caution: Does not freeze well and can break down when mixed directly into large amounts of dairy
*Highly digestible, making it gentle for sensitive stomachs and infant foods
*Contains trace minerals like potassium, phosphorus, and iron, along with B-vitamins like folate
*Naturally free from grain, gluten, and common corn allergens
*Used as a base ingredient in homemade dry shampoos, natural deodorants, and body powders due to its moisture-absorbing qualities
*Historically used to soothe digestive upset or dress wounds
