Comfrey (Symphytum officinale)

Other names: Black Root, Mare's Milk, Honeydew, Comfrey

Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)


Comfrey, also known as Black Root, Mare's Milk, Honeydew or Comfrey, is a medicinal herb with many uses. It grows up to one metre tall, has rich, dark green foliage and small, purple flowers. It is a very popular medicinal plant that has been used since the Middle Ages. It is mainly considered to regenerate surface tissues and accelerate healing.

Its active substances are most often used to prepare ointments and creams that have strong healing effects. These cosmetic and therapeutic preparations are suitable for the treatment of burns, abrasions, superficial wounds, but also help in the treatment of haemorrhoids and ulcers. They also make poultices from comfrey, which have the ability to relieve muscle and joint pain and promote healing of fractures and sprains. Their effectiveness lies in promoting collagen synthesis. The juices, syrups, herbal teas or tinctures can also be prepared from the foxglove, which contribute to the overall improvement of health. However, it is important to note that the internal use of comfrey should always be carried out under the supervision of a specialist, as the plant contains alkaloids that can damage the liver.
