Organic Comfrey Ointment

In ancient times comfrey was called 'knitbone',' all heal' or 'woundwort' and has been used topically for many years for cuts, bruises, fractures, sprains, injured tendons/ligaments, sores and skin ulcers.

On the skin, it is an emollient, soothing and was used for scars and blemishes. It was also said to promote a youthful complexion. The Latin name 'symphytum' means 'heal together'. It is now believed that the allatoin (a main component of comfrey) is responsible for the growth and multiplication of skin cells.

The comfrey used in this ointment we do entirely from plant to jar. It is harvested by hand from a controlled piece of private ground in a rural area of Aberdeenshire. Only the most perfect leaves are selected for optimum efficacy and slowly macerated (cold process) in organic sunflower oil.

The ointment we create is a luscious green colour from the herb and has a wonderful feel on skin. Enjoy the nourishing combination of wildcrafted and organic vegetable oils and soothing organic lavender essential oil. The recipe is completed by organic beeswax which adds further protection for your skin.
