The Healing Wonders of Comfrey
When I am not growing my own fruits and vegetables or creating homemade recipes and making wholesome food from scratch, I love to research healthy food and gardening and products to aid in living a healthy lifestyle.
Working in my no-dig garden where I am the closest to nature, and doing research on how to make my own fertiliser, I came across the most wonderful, healing and nutrient rich plant/herb that I could dream of, called Comfrey.
What is comfrey?
Comfrey is a perennial herb and has a long history of uses in traditional medicine, natural remedies and agriculture
Through my research, I came across all its wonderful and potent advantages and immediately started planting it in my own garden and under all my fruit trees.
The comfrey’s roots grow 2.4 to 3 meters deep and draw up all the good nutrients and minerals from deep down under, which is why it is such a good fertiliser for my garden and fruit trees and also contain such good healing and health benefits.
I handpick, wash and dehydrate it myself before I infuse and make my product.
It really is a wonder herb.
Incredible Health Benefits
Reduce Pain
It consists of analgesic qualities, which is a natural painkiller, together with the organic compounds and antioxidants found in comfrey, this helps it in its ability to reduce pain.
Anti-inflammatory components
Excellent for its anti-inflammatory working.
Good for swelling, sprains, sore muscles, burns, arthritis, gout and osteoarthritis in knees
Boosting Immune System
As mentioned earlier, vitamine C is a great component of comfrey, and its primary role in the body is to stimulate the production of white blood cells which is the first line of defence of the body’s immune system. Topically it can even help to improve various vitamin and immune deficiencies.
Cell-regenerative
It is a powerful, natural healing plant that has cell-regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a wonderful first aid herb to always have on hand in case of emergency with a twisted ankle, pulled muscle, swelling and fractures.
Bone Healing
Its common name is ‘Knitbone’, for it contains allantoin, a compound which speed up new healthy cell growth, and therefor heal broken bone and cartilage and knit them back together. It is also rich in Calcium which is the key ingredient in bone growth.
Wound healing
It has a high content of antioxidants, as well as vitamin C and together they make an ideal solution to speed up the healing process of wounds. It helps eliminate foreign substances in the body and prevention of cell death. Vitamin C helps to produce collagen which is necessary to produce new skin cells for healing. It should not however be used on deep, dirty wounds, for it does not have antiseptic qualities and its rapid healing power may trap dirt or pus.
With all its incredible good and powerful benefits, it is however not to be ingested, only topical use.
