The Herbalist Comfrey Root Liquid Extract

Description

Comfrey has a long history of traditional use for its unparalleled would-healing abilities.  As a vulnerary, it increases the regeneration and growth of cells as tissues are healing.  It speeds and optimizes the healing of fractures, broken bones, sprains and strains.  When applied topically it soothes and speeds the healing of burns, cuts, scrapes, bruises and ulcers, but should not be applied to deep wounds for risk of trapping infection.  Its mucilaginous properties make it very soothing and anti-inflammatory to the digestive and respiratory tracts.  NOTE: Though comfrey has a long history of safe, traditional use, in the last decade there has arisen concern over the content of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), which are especially high in the root.  These compounds have been reported to cause liver damage when taken in high amounts over a long period of time.  For external use only.
