I've personally been growing and using comfrey for decades. It's a top medicinal herb, originating from the UK, utilized for centuries for any number of ailments. The medicinal plant was brought to North America over 100 years ago by British emigrants and has spread like wild fire, often found growing along country roads in the ditches. If you're lucky enough to have a plant, read up on it. It has so mamy amazing benefits. The leaves, stem and root each offer healing power. My plant below is approx. 4' 6" tall and has just flowered in the past couple of days, and has become a haven for bees of all kinds.
It's a controvertial plant in the medical profession, however, it's used in abundance by natural healers and natural health practitioners.
I've successfully used the mashed leaves for broken toes, stings and topical rashes of all sorts, and have had rapid healing of each ailment. I do not recommend ingesting the herb, as there are health risks, but rather use it topically for any of the aformentioned conditions.
Comfrey oil is an ingredient in my Tattoo Balm, and also included in all batches of my Eczema Butters and Diaper Salves.

In a similar way as the analgesic substances in comfrey, the various organic compounds, like saponins and tannins, also serve as anti-inflammatory components of this powerful herb.
