Comfrey, the miracle herb:

History of the Plant:

Comfrey has been used since the sixteenth century in the external treatment of broken bones.  It therefore got the name “knit-bone”.   Allantoin, the active ingredient, with exceptional healing properties, is absorbed  fast and deep into the skin.   This is the reason why it could assist with the healing of bones and why even external application can bring relief and assist with the healing of internal ailments, such as ruptures, muscle injuries, bruises and the inflammation of arthritic joints, etc.  Being a proliferant, the healing process is speeded up because of rapid growth of new cells. Ironically, Alllantoin is now  being synthesized in the modern pharmaceutical industry.

Medicinal value

Comfrey has a wide range of medicinal benefits, both internal and external. Its actions are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anodyne (lessens pain), astringent (shrinks soft tissue and contracts blood vessels, thus checking  blood flow), demulcent (softens), expectorant, expels  mucous, emollient (softens), haemostatic (stops bleeding), proliferant (stimulates cell growth), refrigerant (cooling effect), mild sedative and vulnerary (healing).
