Traditionally it was used to encourage the recovery of broken bones, tendons, and uninfected cut or wounds. It contains allantoin, a known cell proliferant (i.e tissue healing). Any gardener can attest its powers of regeneration—a mighty plant will grow from even the tiniest piece of root.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth leaves and root of the Comfrey plant may be used. Use externally in soaks, compresses, poultices, salves, and infused oils. Standard decoction ratios and preparation methods apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComfrey is prohibited for internal use by Health Canada and the FDA as its high pyrrolizidine alkaloid content may cause liver damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstituents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitamin B12, Calcium, germanium, iron, potassium, phosphorous, amino acids, mucilage, allantoin, inulin, alkaloids, triterpenoids, phenolic acids, sterols, tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eSuggested Use\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContraindications:\u003c\/strong\u003e May warrant caution with an overactive immune system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Brew Herbal Teas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule of thumb, for single herbs add 1 tsp. dried herb per cup hot water (though you can make your tea as strong or weak as you’d like). For blends of more than 2 herbs, use 1 Tbsp. dried herb blend per cup of hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINFUSIONS are for plant materials that are relatively fragile (leaves, fruits, seeds, flowers and roots with high volatile oils like Valerian or Goldenseal). Place a tight fitting lid over the tea, and allow to steep for 10-20 minutes, or overnight – depending on the flavour and strength you wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDECOCTIONS are like infusions, but are used when the plant material is tenacious (such as roots, barks, nuts and non-aromatic seeds). This method makes very concentrated teas, so the plant material can be used 2-3 times before discarding. Bring water to a boil. Add herb to boiling water, cover with tight fitting lid, and allow to simmer on low heat for 15-20 mins. Remove from heat and strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to brew when your blend has both fragile and tenacious herbs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou do both methods! First decoct your roots, barks or seeds as described above. Turn off the heat, and then add the leaves\/flowers and leave to steep for as long as you desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% organic Symphytum officinale root powder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Earth's Aromatique","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":56152427594020,"sku":"xhd1787914448272","price":8.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/1869\/8532\/files\/comfrey-root-powder_1.jpg?v=1787914453","url":"https:\/\/www.cedarandbloom.shop\/products\/comfrey-root-powder","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
