"Comfrey Chronicles: Nature's Answer to Wound Care"

"Comfrey, scientifically known as Symphytum officinale, is a herbaceous plant native to Europe and parts of Asia, with a long history of use in traditional medicine. It is often called 'knitbone' due to its historical use in helping heal bones. Comfrey is believed to have healing properties, including anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, and is commonly used topically to treat wounds, bruises, and sprains. However, it contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), which can be toxic to the liver. To minimize the risk of toxicity, it is important to use certified low-PA or PA-free comfrey preparations externally on unbroken skin and avoid internal use. While there is some evidence supporting its efficacy for conditions like osteoarthritis, further research is needed to fully understand its benefits and risks." Like and subscribe.
