Comfrey (Symphytum officinale)
The stem, which grows up to 1m is hollow, bristly and very leafy. The leaves at the bottom of the stem are pointed at each end and can grow up to ten inches long.
They are bristly and the rough hairs cause an itch when touched. The plant bears white or mauve flowers throughout the summer with the first flowers appearing in early May. The flowers are bell-like, occurring in forked spikes on one side of the plant. The root of the plant is brownish black, and deeply wrinkled.
Comfrey is common in moist places in Britain, Europe and the USA.
The leaves and roots of the plant are used medicinally. Comfrey has been used throughout the centuries for its ability to help heal sprains and breaks in the bones. It has anti-inflammatory and astringent properties coupled with a soothing action and is an effective anti-psoriatic (effective against psoriasis).
