It is common throughout the country so finding it will not be a problem. Comfrey is a plant growing up to about 1 m high, has dark green fleshy leaves with an oblong and lanceolate shape. Comfrey is most easily recognized by the characteristic purple or purple flowers that appear in late May.

Comfrey in folk medicine

Comfrey is a plant used in femoral medicine for centuries, it was considered a very effective medicine for all injuries – both bones, joints, muscles, comfrey root extracts were also used on the skin as a remedy for difficult to heal wounds, inflammatory changes, ulcers, burns . It was also a raw material used internally, in the form of teas and tinctures as a natural remedy for upper respiratory tract infections, digestive problems and excessive menstrual bleeding. Today it is recommended to use comfrey only externally, any comfrey root extracts such as syrups or tinctures have been withdrawn from the sale due to research on the toxicity of alkaloids found in its roots. However, small amounts of these substances make the case of oral use of comfrey extracts debatable. However, the use of exfoliating preparations on the skin is completely safe.

Comfrey ointment

Comfrey balm  may be prepared from comfrey root. It is a very effective remedy for all injuries, degenerations or injuries as well as back and joint pains. The ointment is prepared from fresh or dried comfrey root. It is a much more effective drug than ointments, creams or gels with comfrey available in pharmacies, because they usually contain a few percent of comfrey extract, which makes the use of such preparations ineffective. Effects of the comfrey extract will appear after a long time or are hardly noticeable. Comfrey balm is a simple and natural remedy whose main ingredient should be comfrey extracts, not fillers and ingredients that give texture.

How to prepare an ointment from comfrey?

In order to be effective, the medicine containing comfrey must contain a sufficient amount. It should ideally contain several different comfrey extracts. To prepare a comfrey ointment, you will need three such extracts: oil, glycerol and alcohol. They can be prepared from fresh or dried comfrey. It is enough to pour a portion of comfrey in three jars of linseed oil, glycerine and spirit so that the liquid is 1-2 cm above the chopped roots. Extracts must macerate in a dark place for at least two weeks, after this time they can be used to prepare ointments. The drug is prepared on an allantoin-containing ointment, after dissolving the medium, add dried powdery comfrey root mixed with comfrey oil. Intensively mix with the substrate, then you need to add a portion of comfrey glyceride and finally a few drops of comfrey spirit. A spirit extract is not only another active component of the ointment but also a preservative.

Pain in the joints, spine or muscles can greatly limit the activity, painful pains can also significantly reduce the quality of life, so it is worth looking for natural ways to alleviate this type of discomfort to reduce the amount of synthetic painkillers taken.
