Comfrey Root

Comfrey Root
Botanical Name: Symphytum officinale

Description: Comfrey is a hardy perennial herb with large, textured leaves and delicate, pinkish-white bell-shaped flowers. Its deep-growing, dark root contains beneficial compounds, particularly allantoin, which supports tissue growth and healing.

Benefits: Comfrey root is valued for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and demulcent properties. Known for its ability to promote cell regeneration, it’s traditionally used to help soothe and support skin, joints, and bones. It’s commonly applied to ease discomfort from sprains, burns, cuts, joint pain, and swelling around fractures.

Supports:

• Skin Health: Helps soothe and protect irritated or damaged skin.
• Joint & Bone Support: Applied externally, it provides relief to joints and supports tissue repair around fractures.

Usage: Comfrey root is typically prepared as a poultice or added to salves and lotions for topical application on affected areas.

Important Notes:
Current herbal practices vary on whether comfrey should be taken internally. We advise consulting a healthcare practitioner before use, especially if pregnant, nursing, or on medications. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
