Comfrey has been used for centuries to treat bruises, sprains, surface wounds and even to help broken bones heal more quickly in humans and animals. In ages past farmers have fed comfrey to their livestock as a preventative and spring tonic after a long, cold, dark winter standing in the mire that is England.

In times past people have added comfrey to their diet as a valuable source of potassium, calcium, and vitamins A, B12, and C. As always though, please do not go eating comfrey or making comfrey tea and consuming it without checking with an expert first and especially if you’re pregnant, might be pregnant or are trying to conceive.

Comfrey is also used extensively by gardeners to help in the compost heap, where it speeds the whole process up and adds valuable nutrients, and also by decomposing the leaves in water to make Comfrey tea which is used as a plant food.

Now, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend making your own comfrey poultice without some specialist advice or training, but I do love this Comfrey Healing Salve. It’s a thick cream that you smear onto any bumps, bruises, grazes and you’ll be surprised at how fast they heal and at the minimised scarring too.

Yaoh Organic Hemp Seed Oil Salve contains a high concentration of hemp seed oil, plus the addition of healing herbs like calendula, comfrey, elder and yarrow, making this ointment ideal for any skin complaints, ranging from tattoos to nappy rash. Can also be effective in treating more severe skin complaints
