Comfrey is a perennial plant historically used in traditional medicine to heal wounds and bones. Historically, comfrey was used externally to treat sprains, bruises, fractures, and skin issues. Its name "knit bone" comes from this use. The plant contains allantoin, a compound that can help cells grow and repair more quickly. Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) is a powerful tissue and bone healing herb, but it must be used very carefully, especially internally. Here is a clear, safe guide.

What Comfrey Tincture Does

✅ Bone fractures (“bone knit”)

✅ Sprains, muscle tears, bruises

✅ Back pain & joint pain

✅ Wound healing (closed wounds only)

✅ Varicose veins

✅ Arthritis pain & swelling

Important: Do NOT use comfrey on deep, infected, or open wounds.

It heals skin so fast it can trap infection inside.

External use is the recommended and safest method.

Massage or dab gently
