Botanical Information

Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) is a perennial herb traditionally valued in herbalism. Its root has a long history of use in topical herbal preparations.

Traditional Herbal Context

Comfrey root has traditionally been incorporated into external preparations for skin and musculoskeletal care. Traditional herbal preparations have valued comfrey for its soothing and conditioning qualities.

Because comfrey root contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, its use requires particular attention to preparation, route of use, and duration. Comfrey root should not be taken internally. The European Medicines Agency notes that certain controlled comfrey-root preparations may be used on the skin for short periods, with limits on pyrrolizidine alkaloid exposure. These considerations apply to specific preparations and should not be assumed to apply identically to every comfrey product.

Suggested Use

Apply a small amount to clean, intact skin and massage gently until absorbed.

For external use only.

Do not apply to open wounds, broken skin, or damaged skin.

Ingredients

Comfrey root (Symphytum officinale) and salve base.

Precautions

For external use only. Do not ingest.

Comfrey contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can be harmful to the liver when taken internally. Do not use orally.

Do not apply to open wounds, broken skin, or damaged skin. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

Use only on intact skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Because comfrey preparations can vary in pyrrolizidine alkaloid content and may have restrictions related to preparation, frequency, and duration of use, follow the product label carefully. Consult a qualified healthcare professional if you have questions about whether this product is appropriate for you.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
