Traditional Use

In European folk medicine, comfrey (Symphytum officinale) has been one of the best-known medicinal plants for bones, joints, and regenerative tissue for centuries.

Historical herbal books traditionally describe the use of the root for:

In Eastern European and Asian herbal traditions, comfrey is also mentioned within holistic plant concepts that deal with chronic tissue changes and other severe stresses on the organism. These historical traditions do not make claims about medically proven efficacy.

Modern Research

Scientific research primarily focuses on the natural ingredients of comfrey root, including:

• Allantoin
• Rosmarinic acid
• Tannins
• Mucilages
• Phenolic plant compounds

Their significance for the following is being investigated, among other things:

• Tissue regeneration processes
• Skin and mucous membrane care
• Inflammation-related processes
• Antioxidant properties

Furthermore, experimental laboratory studies are investigating the influence of individual plant compounds on various cell models. Such investigations serve to gain scientific knowledge and do not allow conclusions about a therapeutic effect in humans.
