Comfrey ( (symphytum officinale) is one of Mother Nature's miracle plants. Often referred to as knitbone because of it's ability to knit bones back together rapidly, it can also be used to safely and effectively treat a variety of issues, including:
arthritis and rheumatism
tumors, especially of the breast
skin wounds and diseases on both humans and animals
To remove warts and other growths
hemorrhoids
wounds (ensure the wound is clean and free of any debris, as comfrey will cause the flesh to heal over before the body has time to push out anything left behind)
burns (including sunburn)
swollen tissues
broken bones, sprains and strains
bites and stings
poison ivy
muscle inflammations and swellings
bronchitis and other lung issues, especially whooping cough
