Family Name: Boraginaceae, forget-me-not
Origin: Croatia
The leaves and flowers of this perennial herb are used topically for their anti-irritant, antiseptic, emollient, mucilaginous and regenerative properties, as well as being a powerful anti-inflammatory. Comfrey’s active constituents are: alkaloids, mucilage, saponins, tannins, terpenes, sterols, phenolcarboxylic acids (such as salicylic acid and caffeic acid), amino acids and vitamin B12. Comfrey is also high in allantoin, which stimulates new cell growth. This results in promoting the swift healing of damaged or injured tissues. In fact, comfrey is one of the most favored herbs to treat wounds and abrasions in the form of salves and poultices because it proliferates cells. Excellent for dry skin, comfrey is used in soaps, lotions, moisturizers, salves and bath herbs. Recommended for dry hair, comfrey is used in shampoos, conditioners and hair rinses. Medicinally, it is used for broken bones, rashes, sprains, bruises, severe burns, eczema and psoriasis.
