Gaia Herbs Comfrey Compound Supplement Jar, 2 Ounce

A Gaia Herbs Comfrey Compound Herbal Salve is a topical preparation intended to address pain, inflammation, and irritation of the skin and surface wounds. It is important to note that comfrey salve is intended for external use only. People have been using comfrey in herbal medicine for an extended period of time. This herb contains several bioactive compounds, one of which is allantoin, which promotes the rapid growth of cells. Comfrey was often used to treat broken bones because herbalists believed that it made the bones knit faster and it is also supposed to contribute to rapid healing of skin problems on the surface. Gaia Herbs Comfrey Compound salve can be applied to areas of pain and inflammation as well as irritation. Minor cuts, scrapes, insect bites, and burns can be treated with comfrey salve. Applying Gaia Herbs Comfrey Compound salvee to open wounds may not be advised, however, due to concerns about absorption of comfrey into the body. Gaia Herb Comfrey Compound salve can also be blended with other herbs which may have antinflammatory or antibiotic properties for the purpose of providing a multipurpose salve for cuts and scrapes. Before Gaia Herbs Comfrey Compound salve is applied, the wound should be washed and patted dry. To keep the container clean, it is advisable to use a cotton ball to dab into the container and pick up salve, rather than using a finger. After applying the salve, people may opt to leave the wound uncovered to breathe, or to bandage it to protect it from further abrasions and irritants.
