Product Details
One
half ounce, cut and sifted.100% Certified USDA Organic & Kosher.
Comfrey leaf (Symphytum officinale), also known as knitbone or
bruisewort, has a long history of use dating back to ancient Greece and Rome.
Traditionally, it was used as a topical treatment for wounds, sprains, and
broken bones due to a compound called allantoin that promotes cell growth.
Comfrey salves were a common household remedy for centuries. However, modern
medicine advises against oral consumption of comfrey leaf due to the presence
of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), which can be toxic to the liver.
Comfrey Leaf remains a popular ingredient in some topical creams
and salves intended for wound healing and pain relief. Studies have shown mixed
results on the effectiveness of these products, and some countries have even
banned the sale of comfrey-containing ointments. It is important to consult
with a medical professional before using any comfrey product.
Magical traditions indicate that comfrey Leaf has been
associated with attracting money, ensuring safe travels, and promoting
stability and endurance. It is also said to be beneficial in spells related to
real estate.
