Comfrey root powder organic

Organic Comfrey Leaf (Symphytum officinale) is a member of the Borage family, comfrey leaf has been used for thousands of years. The plant is native to Europe and Asia and has been widely cultivated. Comfrey has large, rough leaves with tiny surface hairs, making them hard to dry quickly without spoiling.

Allantoin, a constituent in comfrey, makes the leaves a useful emollient in lotions, creams, salves, and hair rinses. Comfrey has a mild, cucumber-like scent with bitter undertones.It is not recommended for consumption. The plant's high phytonutrient content makes it a great addition to soil for flowers, trees, and shrubs, whether used directly or as liquid comfrey compost (LCC).

Comfrey leaves are sourced directly from Bulgaria and harvested through our Well Earth sustainable sourcing program. These herbs are grown on small farms or responsibly wildcrafted. Our leaves are 100% organic, kosher certified, non-irradiated, and picked at the optimal time to deliver the best potency.

Comfrey is a perennial herb related to forget-me-not and borage. Also known as Bruisewort and Knitbone, comfrey has earned an entry in every Materia Medica written since the 15th century, although it's been in use for much longer.

The long, pervasive roots are more potent than the leaves but have higher levels of a constituent toxic to the liver. Use only on unbroken skin.
