Symphytum officinale
Comfrey contains allantoin, a cell proliferant that makes comfrey an incredible herb for stimulating growth when tissue has been injured or is having trouble regenerating. It is useful for when healing from broken bones, sprains and strains, and injuries to the skin and mucosa. It also supports and heals connective tissues, helping to increase circulation to the area and aid with regeneration. Comfrey makes a wonderful infused oil or salve for skin healing. However, it should never be applied to deep wounds: it can cause the surface skin to heal before the internal tissues, allowing for pockets of infection to develop. Use on surface abrasion, scrapes and cuts instead!
*While comfrey has long been used internally, it has recently been found to contain a hepatoxic alkaloid. The root contains a higher concentration than the leaf. Do your own research and/or consult a doctor before using comfrey internally. Probably best avoided during pregnancy and nursing.*

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
