Comfrey Leaf

Comfrey Leaf DESCRIPTIONS:

It comes from a plant. Even though this plant has poisonous chemicals called pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), medicine is made from the leaf, root, and stem that looks like a root (rhizome). The amount of PAs in comfrey changes depending on when it is picked and how old it is. There are 10 times more PAs in the roots than in the leaves. Some products labeled "common comfrey" or Symphytum officinale actually contain the more dangerous "prickly comfrey" (Symphytum asperum) or "Russian comfrey" (Symphytum x uplandicum) species.

Comfrey tea is used to treat upset stomach, ulcers, heavy menstrual periods, diarrhea, bloody urine, persistent cough, painful breathing (pleuritis), bronchitis, cancer, and chest pain (angina). It is also used to gargle for sore throats and gum disease.

Comfrey is used on the skin to treat ulcers, wounds, joint inflammation, bruises, rheumatoid arthritis, swollen veins (phlebitis), gout, and broken bones.

Comfrey Leaf HEALTH BENEFITS:

Comfrey roots and leaves contain allantoin, a substance that helps new skin cells grow, as well as other substances that reduce inflammation and keep skin healthy. Comfrey ointments have been used to treat bruises, pulled muscles and ligaments, fractures, sprains, strains, and osteoarthritis.

◉ Broken Bones/Wound Healing - People have told hundreds of anecdotal stories about how miraculously fast Comfrey healed their broken bones. Comfrey tablets were even included in First Aid kits during World War II because it was so well known that this herb could help bones and wounds heal faster.

Researchers have now found that Comfrey has both allantoin and rosmarinic acid in it. Allantoin can speed up the process of new tissue growth by speeding up cellular mitosis, and rosmarinic acid can help relieve pain and inflammation. Allantoin is even a part of how a fetus grows and develops. As the baby grows, this compound is made in the placenta and then goes away when the baby is fully grown. Allantoin is also in breast milk, so a small amount is still given to the baby after birth.

Comfrey also has vitamins and minerals that are good for bones, like vitamin C, calcium, and magnesium.

Most of the time, Comfrey compresses and ointments are put on bones and wounds to help them heal faster. Before putting Comfrey on a wound, it is very important to make sure it is completely clean. This is because the skin can grow back so quickly that it can trap any dirt left in the wound.

◉ Muscle and Joint Pain - In 2013, a large review of many studies about the medical uses of Comfrey said, "It is clinically proven to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling of muscles and joints in cases of degenerative arthritis, acute myalgia in the back, sprains, contusions, and strains after sports injuries and accidents, even in children as young as 3 years old."

In the studies, applying Comfrey helped bruises, sprains, painful muscles and joints, especially those that were caused by exercise, heal faster and feel less pain. In a single-blind, randomized clinical trial with 164 people, Comfrey was more effective at treating ankle sprains and pain than the drug it was compared to. This gave the researchers hope that this natural product could be used as a safe and effective alternative to the usual treatment.

◉ Skin Health - Comfrey can also heal the skin, thanks to its magic ingredient, allantoin, which keeps the skin hydrated, naturally exfoliates, repairs, protects, and soothes the skin. Comfrey has a lot of antioxidants, so putting it on the skin helps to stop free radicals from doing damage.

Natural allantoin, which is found in comfrey, can actually help to reduce abnormal thickening of the skin caused by "keratinisation." When this process is out of balance, more keratin is made than usual, and the structure of the barrier function changes. Allantoin works with the keratin in the skin to thin out an abnormally thick stratum corneum. This is why allantoin is known for making skin feel smooth.

Comfrey can also be used to treat skin problems like rashes, sunburn, and bee stings.

◉ Pregnancy and breast-feeding - Comfrey might not be safe to eat or put on the skin if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Comfrey contains PAs that can be absorbed through the skin and could cause birth defects. Avoid use.
