Wild-crafted comfrey leaf, cut and sifted (c/s), is harvested from the Symphytum officinale plant in its natural environment, without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Comfrey leaf has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, where it is valued for its potential health benefits. It is commonly used topically to help promote wound healing and reduce inflammation, and it is also used internally in some herbal remedies.
Comfrey leaf is rich in allantoin, a compound believed to promote cell regeneration and help heal wounds. It also contains tannins, which have astringent properties that can help reduce inflammation and tighten the skin. Comfrey leaf is often brewed into a tea or used in poultices and salves for its soothing and healing effects. However, it's important to note that comfrey contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can be toxic to the liver in high doses. As such, comfrey should only be used externally or under the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner.
