Symphytum officinale Comfrey
Boraginacea
Having a deep tap root
makes Comfrey a little difficult to get established in some
soils but once settled it seems to last for years. Seeds
strike readily enough in the nursery but we do not plant out
until the plant is quite sturdy and has a healthy root
system.
Because it contains phosphorus, potassium, calcium and
allantoin it is extremely useful as a healing agent speeding
up the cell renewal in damaged muscle.
Root division $3.50

A poultice of the leaves is also useful in
the healing of cuts and bruises and root tincture added to
an ointment base has worked well for us in the treatment of
arthritic joints.
We cannot send rootlets or
divisions to Western Australia, Tasmania or Overseas. |
