Symphytum officinale, commonly known as comfrey, is a plant that is utilized topically to treat wounds, sprains, and broken bones, due to its anti-inflammatory properties. The roots and leaves of comfrey contain allantoin, which aids in the growth of new skin cells and other compounds that help to reduce inflammation and maintain healthy skin. Comfrey is beneficial for all skin types as it moisturizes and soothes dry and irritated skin, facilitates rapid skin-cell growth, supports skin renewal, guards against bacteria and other microorganisms, and promotes skin health.
