Comfrey Leaves Oil

Comfrey leaves

Symphytum officinale also known as Comfrey leaves has high medicinal values being both anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Comfrey also stimulates granulation and tissue regeneration, and supports callus formation (Kommission E, 1990a, 1990b). For centuries, comfrey has been used as a traditional medicinal plant for the treatment of painful muscle and joint complaints (Kothmann, 2003; Englert et al., 2005). Native Americans also recognized its healing powers and included comfrey in their therapeutic armamentarium (Hamel and Chiltoskey, 1975; Stammel, 1986).

Comfrey leaves are used as oil, salves and in ointments for bone support as in arthritic, osteoarthritic conditions, sprains and fractures where the medicinal property supports in healing tissues.

I use organic certified herbs in making oils at my apothecary. The comfrey oil is made with organic virgin olive oil and infused in sun.
