Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) is a perennial herb with large, dark brown roots, prized for its wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties. Comfrey root contains allantoin and other compounds that promote cell proliferation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair. It is commonly used topically in herbal salves, poultices, and ointments for healing bruises, sprains, cuts, and minor wounds.
