EXTERNAL USE ONLY
Comfrey - (Symphytum officinale) is a perennial member of the Borage family native to Europe and Asia, now naturalized in temperate regions across the globe. It is hearty and frost resistant and proliferates wherever it grows. Comfrey has angular, hairy stems and oblong leaves. Its delicate purple flowers bloom from May through August on scorpion-tail shaped racemes. Comfrey had been used medicinally from the time of ancient Greece until the late 20th century when one of its compounds, pyrralizidine alkaloids were more extensively studied and found to be potentially damaging. As some of its common names like knitbone, woundwort and bruisewort suggest, Comfrey is still traditionally, carefully used topically for addressing minor injuries to skin, muscle and bone.
