Comfrey, or Symphytum officinale has been traditionally used for its wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for treating minor cuts, bruises, and sprains. Its high content of allantoin, a natural compound, promotes skin regeneration and tissue repair. Comfrey can also be used for joint discomfort and conditions like arthritis due to its soothing effects.

However, internal use of comfrey, especially in high doses, is generally discouraged due to potential liver toxicity and the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids that can harm the liver. Topical use is safer, but it should not be applied to open wounds or broken skin, and it's essential to consult a healthcare provider for guidance on its use.
