EXTERIOR REPAIR – BONE – CELLULAR REGENERATION

This earthy, mucilaginous and grounding herb is your go-to for topical repair. Known as “knitbone” for good reason, Comfrey has long been used externally to speed up healing of bruises, sprains, wounds, and fractures. With its high allantoin content, it encourages cell regeneration and tissue repair—making it a hero for your skin and musculoskeletal system.

Traditional uses:

• Wounds & skin trauma – Used to soothe scrapes, cuts (once clean), ulcers, and minor burns. Comfrey helps draw inflammation, reduce redness, and encourage rapid tissue healing.

• Bruises, sprains & strains – Speeds the healing process of bruised or inflamed tissue. Often used as a poultice or balm for joints, tendons, and ligaments.

• Fractures & breaks – Traditionally applied to unbroken skin over broken bones to help “knit” tissue together and reduce healing time.

• Scars, cracks & dry skin – Deeply hydrating and supportive for cracked heels, gardener’s hands, stretch marks and scar tissue.

As a salve or balm …
Apply directly to affected area 2–3 times daily. Use on clean, unbroken skin only. Great for bruises, joint aches, and tissue trauma.

As an oil infusion …
Our infused oil concentrate is pure Comfrey leaf in a base of organic olive oil. Massage 10% or your oil concentrate into a base oil or balm. Rub  on sore muscles, joints, or post-exercise areas. Combine with 10% arnica, calendula or lavender in an oil base such as avocado, almond or olive oil for a complete skin-healing oil.

As a poultice …
Fresh or dried comfrey leaves can be mashed or infused, wrapped in cloth, and applied to bruises or sore joints.

Most like:

• Arnica – Both relieve bruising and pain. Arnica is more anti-inflammatory and for trauma; Comfrey is more regenerative and tissue-rebuilding.

• Calendula – Excellent for surface skin healing. Calendula is more antiseptic and gentle for sensitive skin; Comfrey penetrates deeper into muscle and tissue.

• Plantain – Soothes bites and itchy skin; Comfrey works deeper to rebuild tissue integrity.

• Gotu Kola – Great for connective tissue repair and scarring; Comfrey is faster for acute injuries and bruises.

Caution:

For external use only.
Do not apply to deep or infected wounds.

Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Use under supervision for long-term or large-area application due to pyrrolizidine alkaloid content.
