Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) is a perennial herb native to Europe. Comfrey is a perennial plant with a large, spreading root system. It grows 1-3 feet tall and wide, with coarse, hairy leaves that are egg-shaped or lance-shaped and have wavy edges. The basal leaves are dark green, pointed, and up to 8 inches long, while the upper leaves are smaller and attached directly to the stem. In mid-spring to early summer, comfrey produces clusters of tubular flowers in shades of white, pink, and purple that resemble bluebells.

The plant has an upright growth habit and its entire surface is covered with coarse, hairy texture. It has a branching root system, with fibrous roots that are thick, fleshy, and spindle-shaped, typically up to 1 inch in diameter and up to 12 inches long, smooth on the outside and pale white inside.

The lower leaves of this plant are quite large, measuring up to 10 inches in length. They have an oval shape and a hairy texture that can cause skin irritation upon contact.

Comfrey has been cultivated for medicinal purposes since ancient times, with records dating back to 400 BC. It was introduced to America in the 1600s by immigrants seeking its healing properties. Over time, comfrey has naturalized in many areas of the US, often growing along roadsides and in waste areas. Its nickname "Knitbone" reflects its reputation for accelerating bone repair, while its botanical name Symphytum translates literally to "to unite".

Internal use of this product is still a topic of debate. Most experts now consider these plants hazardous if ingested.
