You can make a gel from the root, poultices from the leaves, tinctures, and compresses. It is a beautiful addition to the garden.
Comfrey's healing properties includes promoting new bone, muscle, and cartilage growth and protecting the skin comes from a chemical that is found in its leaves, Allantion. This makes Comfrey a valuable aid in healing burns, cuts, and major wounds and relieving inflammation. It's also an astringent, demulcent, and an expectorant.
Allantion is a protein that is found in many over-the-counter products for dry and irritated skin conditions.
The leaves are used for making poultices, compresses, and creams. The flowering tops are used in ointments and infused oils. The root is used for gels and poultices.
Comfrey ointment, gel, tincture, compresses, and poultices are used for treating bruises, sprains, fractures, wounds, ulcers, arthritis, skin irritations such as insect bites, burns, and relieving the pain and inflammation. Different areas of the world use it for different things including anemia and arthritis as well as taking it internally.
Comfrey contains alkaloid chemicals which can cause liver damage if consumed in extremely large amounts. Due to the risk of liver damage Comfrey is no longer considered safe for human consumption in the United States. The alkaloid chemicals are not absorbed through the skin, which makes the external use of Comfrey safe.
Prior to using Comfrey on a cut or wound, make sure the cut or wound is cleansed thoroughly. Comfrey heals the area quickly by sealing over the wound and if any dirt remains in the wound it could cause an infection by being trapped in the wound.
