Comfrey (Dried) is Comfrey that has been dried for storage. It is ground into a Comfrey Poultice to help broken bones heal.
It suits a survivor who forages in the warm months and wants fracture care later. Its strength is that it keeps, while fresh Comfrey spoils within about a week. Its cost is quantity, since each poultice takes five of it.
Most dried Comfrey is made by drying the fresh herb. A little also turns up in survivor safehouses. The Doctor is the best occupation for first aid. It starts with the most First Aid skill. The Nurse and the Park Ranger also start with some First Aid skill.
How to Use Comfrey (Dried)
The Grind Up Comfrey recipe crushes five Comfrey (Dried) into a Comfrey Poultice. Fresh and dried Comfrey can be mixed in the same batch. The recipe needs a Mortar and Pestle or Ceramic Mortar and Pestle, which is kept. It must be learned first.
The poultice goes on a broken bone through the Comfrey Poultice option on the health panel. It roughly halves the healing time of a fracture. A Splint on the same limb speeds healing further, and the pair work best together.
