About This Herb: Our Comfrey root is finely powdered from organically grown plants, carefully dried to preserve its beneficial properties. Known as “knitbone” in folk tradition, comfrey has an esteemed history in wound healing and tissue repair. The root is particularly rich in allantoin, a compound that supports cell regeneration.
Traditional Uses: Comfrey has been used for over 2,000 years to support the healing of bruises, sprains, and broken bones when applied externally. The name “knitbone” reflects this traditional use. Herbalists value it in salves, poultices, and compresses for supporting healthy tissue repair. The powdered root can be used to make infused oils for external preparations.
