What is Comfrey? Common Comfrey (Symphytum officinale), also known historically as "knitbone", carries its purpose in its name: It is all about bones "knitting" (growing) together. Belonging to the borage family, the plant has been the remedy of choice for blunt injuries since antiquity. Its secret is the extremely high content of Allantoin, an active ingredient that massively stimulates new cell formation.

Comfrey is the undefeated champion when it comes to the musculoskeletal system. It penetrates deep into the tissue and promotes healing from the "inside out".It is particularly valuable for:

• Bruises & Sprains: It has a decongestant, cooling, and pain-relieving effect on sports injuries.
• Joint Complaints: Ointments with comfrey extract relieve pain in knees or back and promote mobility.
• Hematomas: By stimulating tissue metabolism, "bruises" break down faster.

The main active ingredient Allantoin is not only good for bones and tendons but also a cosmetic booster. It liquefies wound secretions and stimulates the formation of new cells.

The core competencies of Comfrey:

• Promotes the knitting of tissue (hence the Latin name Symphytum = growing together).
• Soothes irritated skin due to contained mucilage, which forms a protective film over the affected area.
• Supports scar care and softens hardened tissue again.
