What Does Comfrey Do For Your Health?

Of all herbs used in homeopathic or naturopathic preparations, Comfrey is among the most valuable because of the wide range of uses it is known for. It has benefits for virtually every part of the body and has been effectively used for numerous applications. It has been used to treat anything from inflammation of the lungs to ulcers. As a topical solution it is used as remedies for broken bones, skin conditions such as acne, and is even effective in treating burns.

Comfrey has been used as a compress because of its healing properties for blunt injuries, fractures, varicose ulcers, bruises, boils, and burns. A poultice made from Comfrey leaves can also promote the healing of eczema, minor burns, and psoriasis. It can soothe insect bites and has even been used to treat external staph infections and athlete’s foot!

Although you cannot get Comfrey in the United States for oral use, it has been known to regulate levels of cholesterol and to treat any number of digestive issues including nausea and diarrhea. Comfrey is also used to treat hemorrhoids. In the United States, the use of oral Comfrey products have been restricted by the FDA because it contains toxic substances that can cause severe liver damage and in extreme cases even death.

Because of the potentially lethal side effects it is recommended that Comfrey and products containing Comfrey should never be ingested. Although common Comfrey is known to be safe, it is not possible to determine whether or not it is of the Russian Comfrey variety that is known to be highly toxic when taken internally. Under no circumstances whatsoever should pregnant or breastfeeding women use Comfrey.
