Comfrey (leaf/root) is used topically for its emollient, anti-inflammatory, and wound/tissue healing properties. Nicknamed "knit-bone" for its ability to unify wound edges. Contains silicic acid and allatoin, which help preserve the elasticity of connective tissue (e.g., bone and cartilage) and acts as a cell-proliferant, respectively.
