Comfrey Infused Oil

Description

This organic comfrey infused oil is formulated using the leaf OR root OR both of Symphytum officinale.

Comfrey infused oil is said to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain when applied topically (i.e. directly to the skin).

Comfrey contains an element called allantoin. Allantoin encourages cell growth and, thereby, aids in mending damaged tissue. Many of the beneficial properties of comfrey are attributed to its high content of allantoin, a substance that helps promote new skin cell growth. In addition, the herb contains rosmarinic acid and additional phenolic acids that enable comfrey to function as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Comfrey has antibacterial properties and speeds wound healing. It is also awesome for using after a bath as a moisturizer to condition, soften skin, and to relieve dry, itchy skin naturally. (including diaper rash!). It has been said to calm eczema, cuts, scratches, bruises and much more.

The root and leaves of the comfrey plant have been used in traditional medicine in many parts of the world. In Japan, the plant has been harvested and used as a traditional treatment for over 2,000 years. It was originally called “knitbone”. Comfrey is an effective aid to support healing of…

✿ skin rashes
✿ bruises
✿ gout
✿ rheumatoid arthritis
✿ sprains and strains
✿ wounds
✿ bone fractures

Apart from helping treat superficial wounds, comfrey salve has also been applied to fractured bones or torn ligaments in areas of the body where it is not possible to place a cast, such as a rib. It can be applied directly onto your skin, potentially promoting fast healing. It is also said to help reconstruct torn muscles that might have been injured.

Which Base Oil Did I Choose?

Extra Virgin Olive Oil: (EVOO for short!)

EVOO is said to be the healthiest oil on the planet. Because it contains over 30 types of phenolic compounds, which are very powerful antioxidants that help our bodies to fight free radicals that cause premature aging. EVOO has been found to naturally reduce the pain caused by chronic inflammatory diseases like arthritis.

Note: not to be used on deep open wounds.
