It was originally called "knit- bone" or "warrior plant." Comfrey's main components are allanto- in & rosmarinic acid. Now allantoin boosts growth of new skin cells while rosmarinic acid relieves pain & infl ammation! This powerful healing herb is NOT to be taken internally, as it can pose a risk to the liver & can be carcinogenic. BUT it is awesome for external use as many still make creams, ointments, balms, etc. from it! One has to be cautious of using comfrey on deep open wounds as it heals so quickly! It is such an excellent and speedy wound-healing remedy that it actually should not be used on deep wounds or lacerations. It could po- tentially heal the top layer of skin before the bottom layer, resulting in an abscess. So please do avoid full strength comfrey for major skin wounds. Use it for bruises, sprains and minor cuts and scratches, as it's great for so many issues.\ It contains properties to increase cell division which makes it heal bro- ken bones quickly & restore damaged tissue faster than any other plant.
