Comfrey has been a botanical staple in natural remedies for many, many years. The name Comfrey literally means "to grow together". It contains a high level of a substance know as allantoin that promotes new cell growth. This substance along with other substances found in it reduce inflammation and aid in healing deep tissues in the body.
Comfrey is also beneficial on shallow skin damage however caution is exercised with any open wound to make sure the open wound is cleaned before using as Comfrey has been known to start the healing so quickly that bacteria can be sealed in the wound.
