Product Details
One
ounce, cut and sifted.100% Certified USDA Organic & Kosher.
Comfrey Root (Symphytum officinale) has a rich history as a
medicinal herb. Records mention its use in Europe for wound healing and bone
repair. Traditional folklore recommended steeping the root or leaves in ale for
back pain, while poultices were made to promote bone healing, earning it the
nickname "knitbone".
Comfrey's medicinal properties continue to be debated. While
some studies have shown effectiveness in topical pain relief for muscle and
joint injuries, others raise concerns about liver damage due to pyrrolizidine
alkaloids (PAs) found in the plant. Ingesting comfrey, or using it on open
wounds, is strongly discouraged due to these potential health risks.
Magically, comfrey has been associated with healing, protection,
and prosperity. In some traditions, it was planted around homes to ward off
evil spirits and ensure a good harvest. Its fast-growing nature led to its
symbolic association with abundance and new beginnings.
