Comfrey (Symphytum officinale)
Pricing is by weight, so roots, berries, and seeds will weigh more than leaves and flowers. The price is per 1 ounce (28 grams).
I can't set a Maximum, but please do not order more than 4 ounces at a time!
Comfrey Leaf has been relied on as a natural remedy since ancient Roman times. The roots of its leaves contain compounds called allantoin and rosmarinic acid, both support a healthy lifestyle. Much debate surrounds the safety of comfrey due to various parts and preparations containing potentially toxic alkaloids. It is important to understand that the part used, species, and time of harvest all come into play when determining the safety of this herb. A large body of traditional use supports its safety and efficacy if used intelligently and cautiously.
A member of the Borage or Boraginaceae family, comfrey's relatives include both borage (Borago sp.) and heliotrope (Heliotropium sp.). Comfrey has large, rough, hairy, and lance-shaped leaves with whitish, pink, or purple flower spikes which have a slight heliotrope like curl typical of this family.
