Traditional Herbal Salve for Skin & Body Care

Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) has been treasured by herbalists for centuries as an important herb for external skin and body care. Traditionally prepared as poultices, infused oils and salves, comfrey has a particularly fascinating history associated with bruises, sprains, strains, overworked areas and injured tissues.

Traditionally Known as “Knitbone”

Comfrey was historically known as “knitbone,” a name that reflects its long-standing place in traditional herbalism. Comfrey poultices and topical preparations were traditionally applied over fractures and broken bones, as well as sprains and bruises, with the belief that the herb supported the body's natural repair processes.

What Makes Comfrey Special?

Comfrey naturally contains allantoin, a compound valued in modern skin care for its soothing and skin-conditioning properties. The plant also contains mucilage and other naturally occurring botanical constituents that contribute to its long history as a comforting topical herb.

Comfrey has traditionally been used externally for dry, rough and cracked-feeling skin, as well as on areas of the body experiencing everyday bumps, bruises and overuse.

Traditional Uses

Comfrey has traditionally been included in external herbal preparations for bruises, bumps, sprains, strains, overworked muscles and joints, dry or rough skin, and areas surrounding fractures or other injuries.

Botanical Infused Oil

Comfrey is slowly infused into oil, allowing the oil to take on the plant's oil-soluble constituents before being blended into a rich, concentrated salve.

The result is a simple botanical preparation inspired by the way comfrey has been used by herbalists for generations.

How to Use

Warm a small amount between your fingertips and gently massage onto intact skin as needed.
