COMFREY LEAF POWDER ORGANIC

Comfrey is a shrub growing in parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. While it may help with wounds and joint pain, studies warn against eating it due to a risk of liver damage and cancer.

Comfrey can grow up to 5 feet tall. It produces clusters of purple, blue, and white flowers, and it’s famous for its long, slender leaves and black-skinned roots.

The root and leaves of the comfrey plant have been used in traditional medicine in many parts of the world. In Japan, the plant has been harvested and used as a traditional treatment for over 2,000 years. It was originally called “knitbone” and people used it to treat:

• muscle sprains
• bruises
• burns
• joint inflammation

People still use comfrey as an alternative remedy for joint and muscle pain, as well as closed wounds. It’s available at many health stores and pharmacies as

• ointments
• creams
• other topical solutions
• salves that also contain other herbs, such as aloe and goldenseal
