Product Overview
Hilde Hemmes Herbals Comfrey Herbal Cream 100g x 3 Pack = 300g
Comfrey has traditionally been used in western herbal medicine to assist with the relief of:
- mild pain / swelling associated with bruises.
- mild joint sprains / muscle strains
Comfrey is one of the most popular medicinal plants for external use and its name is derived from the Latin 'confervere' which means 'to bring together'. It has been used for centuries for its anti-inflammatory capacity when bones were to be set and the healing process hastened, thus earning the herb its common names, 'Knitbone' and 'Boneset'.
The chief (and most important) constituent of comfrey root is allantoin which promotes wound-healing and accelerates the regeneration of cells.
Hilde Hemmes' herbal creams are water-based, easy-to-use and readily absorbed into the affected skin area. Unlike ointments, they are non-greasy, gentle, compatible with most skin types and promote the body's natural healing forces.
