About Comfrey Root
Comfrey root has been used for centuries in herbal traditions and is especially well known for its role in supporting the healing of skin, muscles, cartilage, and bones. Traditionally, it has been used to speed the healing of wounds, fractures, sprains, and bruises, earning it the historical name “knitbone.”
Comfrey root contains a high level of allantoin, a naturally occurring compound traditionally associated with cell regeneration and tissue repair, which contributes to its long-standing reputation as a powerful healing herb.
Because of its strength, comfrey root has most commonly been used topically in the form of poultices, salves, compresses, and infused oils.
