I love that I could buy this in a small pkg and not have to get a big bulk bag. We were traveling and I ordered this for my husband's broken tooth. I boil the leaves and then separate it. My hubby gargles the tea on his teeth and then he packs the leaves around his broken tooth at night before bed. It really helps the pain. Comfrey use to be called knit bone because it is known to knit the bones back together. I also used for my child's chickenpox and mom's shingles. I would make compresses with the tea and it really relieves any of itchiness. Works great for any type of itchy skin conditions and broken bones or fractures.
The most interesting health benefits of comfrey include its ability to reduce pain, eliminate inflammation, boost the immune system, promote growth, and strengthen bones. It also helps heal skin, reduce the risk of cancer, and improve respiratory health. I use this on my c-section scar and any skin issues that come up for me or my family. Quality is very good. Pls research thoroughly if you have liver issues.
Great quality herb that I look forward to incorporating into salves and other topical creations as it has excellent composition. I was kind of surprised not to find a warning label on the packaging as Comfrey is an herb to be used cautiously and thoughtfully. I will continue to purchase from this brand as they are always consistent in their products and are priced fairly. I have a hard time finding higher quality product on the market for a comparable price. Shipping was fast as well!
Along with NOW's Calcium Hydroxyapatite caps, I grind this comfrey leaf into a powder & add it right into my tub of Christopher's Herbal Tooth & Gum Powder (Christopher's used to include comfrey, but no longer does) & so far, it's working out great! I love Frontier & buy a ton of their herbs for tea, cooking & remedies & their comfrey doesn't disappoint.
This tea we used half of it in powdered form as a poultice to try and heal a torn tendon in the shoulder area. It did not have as much healing affect as a comfrey balm we bought and used on joints. I think comfrey may be better for inflamed joints and broken bones. Now we are drinking the tea to see if we get better results. So still to see results of actually drinking the tea for internal injuries, But the quality of the tea leaves is wonderful, fresh and rich!
Comfrey is such a wonderful product. It has been called "knitbone" due to its properties to heal broken bones, but it also heals cells, ligaments, muscles. It is not for a deep puncture wound because it helps the surface too quickly and deep wounds need to heal from the inside out.
I originally purchased this to make a tincture and salve for my dog. I don’t give this to him orally but he has arthritis and this is suppose to help with pain according to my vet. He does lick this off as I made it with coconut oil. I read mixed reviews about comfrey whether it’s safe to ingest and therefore I only put very little on him. If you decide to use this for the same purpose please do your research and see if it’s best for your dog. The quality of this however is amazing and the price is best here!
Used this as a poultice on my friend’s leg. She had a huge contusion. I added this to a base of slippery elm and other herbs. She saw a big improvement after 2 hours of napping with the poultice on. Just wiped it off and let the leg dry naturally. She was walking without pain after her nap!!!
I don't take comfrey internally as it's been linked to liver issues. I do make an infusion or tea with it and use it topically on wounds or muscle aches. It seems to help with those issues without any side effects.
Good fresh dried leaves for making tea. So far used tea for fomentations for pain and bruising. Really thankful that it did a good job when I needed it!
