Herb of the Month - Meet Comfrey!
Comfrey (Symphytum Officinale) Comfrey's traditional use is in mending broken bones, and it was once described as able to "heal all inward wounds and ruptures." Not only does comfrey contain important minerals needed in the healing process, but it also contains allantoin, a substance that stimulates cell growth. Comfrey is primarily used externally in compresses, poultices, and salves. What Is a Poultice? Even though the word “poultice” sounds a little odd, a poultice is nothing more than a direct way to apply herbs to the skin. For making a poultice, herbs are usually crushed into a pulp or made into a paste that is spread directly onto the surface of the skin, up to an inch thick, and held in place with gauze, muslin, or cheesecloth wrapped around the area to keep the poultice from rubbing off. We have everything at Vervain to make a comfrey poultice, oil, or salve to suit your needs. Ready for more Comfrey?
Vervain carries Comfrey leaf as well as root in bulk, and it's an ingredient in several wonderful topical blends, such as: Healing Salve Pain Salve Tattoo Healing Salve Scar Minimizer
