Comfrey is such an amazing herb. It is known as a "Knit-Bone" herb. This is because of the componant Allantoin which gives comfrey the mucilaginous properties and what makes it such a great healing companion. It is said to relieve pain, inflammation and swelling of muscles and joints in the case of degenerative arthritis, back pain, sprains, contusions and strains after sports injuries and accidents, and to possibly help with fibromayalgia. We use both the leaves and root in our salve in order to get the benefits of the entire plant.
 
*** There have been many studies done on the benefits of comfrey, but we do not make any claims or guarantees as to the healing benefits of this salve.  
 
*** It is said that comfrey can cause a bioaccumulation of alkaloids in the liver. This has only been proven when taken internally and there is no evidence that using comfrey externally will cause this. However, it is suggested that you use caution if you have liver problems.
