Symphytum officinale
organic comfrey
plant overview
comforting comfrey
Comfrey, also called bruisewort, knitbone and slippery root, is a member of
the borage family that is native to Asia and Europe. Although this herb has
a long history of use internally, it is no longer permitted in products sold
in the U.S. or Europe that are intended to be ingested. The herb is still
used to make salves, ointments and poultices for topical use because of the
high degree of mucilage present in the leaf.
