Description

Profile: Comfrey root has been prized in traditional European medicine for its medicinal effects in topical applications for thousands of years. Symphytum officinale is a plant that is native to Europe and temperate Asia but has become naturalized all over the world. Large hairy leaves, a scorpioid inflorescence of bell-shaped flowers, and black roots characterize this plant.

Details: Comfrey is related to both borage (Borago sp.) and heliotrope, it belongs to the Borage or Boraginaceae family (Heliotropium sp.). The Symphytum genus contains about 35 species, all of which can be used interchangeably, although pyrrolizidine alkaloid content varies between species and are highest in Russian comfrey (S. x uplandicum) and prickly comfrey or (S. asperum). Comfrey has huge, rough, hairy, lance-shaped leaves with whitish, pink, or purple flower spikes with the distinctive heliotrope curl. It is endemic to much of Europe and parts of Asia, including the Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Siberia, and Turkey, and grows as a weed in temperate northern climates.
