![Comfrey]() | Comfrey | Comfrey oil (Symphytum officinale)
This tall herbaceous plant is a member of the Boriginaceae family and is macerated in organic sunflower oil to produce a useful healing agent. The name comfrey comes from the Latin 'confirmare', which means to unite and the herb was used to help knot bones and wounds together. It is most useful after an operation or injury, or in the case of festering wounds, such as leg ulcers and bed sores. The oil can be used on its own for healing, or diluted with sunflower for large areas. Comfrey will keep for 2 years in a cool, dark place. | | |
