Comfrey
Symphytum
Comfrey helps new skin cells grow, along with other substances that reduce inflammation and keep skin healthy. Comfrey ointments have been used to heal bruises as well as pulled muscles and ligaments, fractures, sprains, strains, and osteoarthritis.
Comfrey can be effective for back pain. Applying a comfrey extract ointment to the affected area for 5 days seems to decrease lower or upper back pain. Also applying a cream containing comfrey extract plus methyl nicotinate to the affected area for 5 days seems to decrease back pain when resting or moving.
Comfrey can also be effective for sprains. Early research shows that applying comfrey ointment to the affected area for up to 2 weeks improves mobility, decreases pain, and reduces tenderness and swelling of sprains. The effect of comfrey ointment in relieving pain and reducing swelling seems to be comparable to the effects of diclofenac gel.
