Comfrey Salve - 60g

Comfrey, a perennial herb, has been used in traditional medicine for centuries due to its potential health benefits for broken bones, fractures and sprains.  Also known as "knitbone."

Here are some of its key benefits:

1. **Wound Healing**: Comfrey contains allantoin, a compound that promotes cell regeneration, making it useful for healing wounds, cuts, and abrasions.

2. **Pain Relief**: Comfrey has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help alleviate pain from sprains, strains, and arthritis when applied topically.

3. **Bone and Joint Support**: Traditionally known as "knitbone," comfrey is believed to help in the healing of fractures and reduce inflammation in conditions like osteoarthritis.

4. **Skin Health**: Comfrey is often used in creams and ointments to soothe skin irritations, burns, and rashes.

5. **Bruising and Swelling**: The herb is effective in reducing bruising and swelling, particularly when used in poultices or compresses.

Always consult a healthcare professional before using comfrey, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

Topical ointment only, not for consuming.

Ingredients:

• Comfrey
• Sunflower Oil
• Beeswax
• Mango Butter
• Marjoram
• Lavender
• Clary Sage

Directions for use:

1. **Clean the Area**: Before applying the salve, gently clean the affected area with mild soap and water. This ensures that the skin is free of dirt and bacteria.

2. **Apply the Salve**: Take a small amount of comfrey salve and rub it gently onto the affected area. Use circular motions to help the skin absorb the salve.

3. **Cover if Necessary**: If the area is prone to getting dirty or if you want to keep the salve in place, you can cover it with a bandage or clean cloth.

4. **Repeat as Needed**: Apply the salve 2-3 times a day, or as recommended, until the issue improves.

Precautions:
- **Do not use on open wounds**: Comfrey should not be applied to broken skin, as some of its compounds may be absorbed too deeply.
- **Short-term use**: Comfrey is generally recommended for short-term use only, due to potential toxicity with prolonged use (up to 6 weeks with 1 week break between use)
- **Consult a healthcare professional**: If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have liver issues, seek medical advice before using comfrey products.
