Comfrey leaf in tinctures and salves is traditionally used topically to aid wound healing, reduce inflammation, and soothe muscle and joint pain, including sprains and bruises. It's often called "knitbone" for its purported ability to help mend tissues.
Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) is a medicinal plant commonly used for treating sprains. Comfrey has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce pain and swelling associated with sprains. It can be used as a poultice or in a cream form for topical application to the affected area.
Comfrey is a perennial herb, not an annual. It can grow back year after year from its root system, thriving in a variety of soil conditions. Known for its medicinal properties and use as a fertilizer, comfrey can live for many years if properly cared for.
