Comfrey

Botanical Name: Symphytum x uplandicum

Comfrey is a perennial herb with large hairy leaves and bell-shaped flowers that grows in damp places along riverbanks and in ditches. Its roots are large and fleshy, and it can be used to heal wounds, burns, bruises, ulcers, and other skin conditions. The older leaves can be eaten after cooking, while dried comfrey leaves and roots are used for reducing inflammation associated with sprains and broken bones. However, caution should be exercised when using comfrey on deep wounds as it could trap an infection within the wound by knitting the skin too fast.
