Description: Comfrey has been used for centuries as a topical compress to help speed up healing. The name itself literally means "to knit together" as the leaves contain a substance known as alantoin. A must have for every apothecary garden, Comfrey is popularly traded among plant-folks via root divisions or root pieces as the main cultivar out there is sterile; so for seed-savers this is the one to choose. The plant grows true from seed. Traditional usage: Cell proliferation, cuts, scrapes, deep injuries. Source of allantoin, mucopolysaccharides and also potentially toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Often recommended for external use only. Commonly employed as a companion plant to orchard trees and as an ingredient in compost tea and compost piles. High in protein, the leaves make a good feed for chickens and pigs, may be added to the feed of all domestic animals, helping maintain good health and weight gain. Comfrey prefers a full to part sun position with rich, moist, but well-drained soil.
