For many years comfrey has been used to treat respiratory problems. It’s not uncommon for people to use it for pleurisy and other lung infections. But comfrey can be used for many more conditions.
Research has shown that comfrey actually works on a cellular level to repair cells. This can help to heal an overall health condition. It will also stimulate the growth of new cells so that your body can replace dead and damaged cells with hard-working efficient ones. This may be why comfrey works so well at healing so many conditions.
For example, comfrey can help to heal just about any injury. If you have a broken bone or a sprain, you can use comfrey to help you heal faster. Comfrey can also be used to treat problems as minor as bruises and scrapes. You’ll find that using comfrey will shorten your healing time dramatically.
Most people use comfrey for injuries by applying a compress or ointment directly to the affected area. You can also use oil infused with the plant to treat injuries and problems. This should be used externally.
If you have acne, you may find that applying comfrey helps to heal your skin and give you the skin you’ve always wanted. For acne, you’ll want to use comfrey tincture and apply it directly to the blemishes.
And it doesn’t only work for acne. You can also use comfrey to treat boils and conditions like psoriasis and eczema. It will help the skin to heal and you’ll have relief from painful irritation. As with acne, you can apply the comfrey tincture directly to the affected area.
If you’ve had a serious cut or even if you’ve had surgery, you’ll find that comfrey can help reduce the look of your scar and help your incision to heal more quickly. It actually prevents the build up of scar tissue and allows your cells to heal rapidly. Comfrey will also reduce the inflammation of the area.
If you have problem skin, you’ll find that comfrey is a good solution for restoring healthy skin that’s soft and supple. If you’ve recently experienced an injury, you may find that comfrey can give you the help you need to heal quickly and get back on your feet.
It’s not a bad idea to keep comfrey in your cabinet so that you’ll have it for an emergency. No one ever plans a broken bone or a big blemish the night before an important event.
