Comfrey is a favorite plant of the Holden Homestead.  It’s leaves are used to make “compost tea” for our  gardens. The beautiful purple flowers bring in pollinators.  It’s a favorite snack of “Huckleberry-the always hungry goat”.  We steep leaves for immune support and coughs in the winter.  And we use our Comfrey salve to soothe our muscles, bruises, joints and banged bodies after our adventures.
 
The name Comfrey originated from Latin and means “to join together.” This herb was given the name because of its skin- and wound-healing abilities; comfrey literally helps “join together” the skin. Comfrey uses throughout history include speeding the healing of burns and bruises as well as fractures and broken bones, reducing skin irritations, lessening swelling, easing the pain of osteoarthritis, and minimizing the appearance of scars. All this because of one tiny plant. Truly amazing!
 
Comfrey helps new skin cells to grow, it has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties, it relieves inflammation and soothes the skin, and reduces skin irritation.
