Here are some of the benefits of growing comfrey:
Comfrey has been used medicinally for at least 2,000 years for various conditions, including bone fractures, ulcers, and gout.
Back Pain
One study of 379 patients with acute upper-or low-back pain used a topical combination of 35% comfrey root extract plus 1.2% methyl nicotinate versus a single preparation of methyl nicotinate or placebo cream. The dosage was a 12 cm layer of cream three times daily for five days. The combination that included the comfrey root demonstrated superiority to the two other treatment arms resulting in a reduction in pain for the majority of patients.6
Further study is needed to confirm these results.
Osteoarthritis
Comfrey cream may help treat knee osteoarthritis, according to a Cochrane review of topical herbal therapies.7 The review included one study of 220 people with knee osteoarthritis, a degenerative wear-and-tear joint condition. The participants were assigned three weeks of treatment with 2 g of either comfrey ointment or a placebo three times a day. Those who used the comfrey ointment experienced improvements in pain, mobility, and quality of life.
Research exploring a variety of topical herbal therapies for treating osteoarthritis have also found comfrey to be among those effective when applied topically.7
Ankle Sprains
Research has shown that comfrey cream may be helpful in the treatment of ankle sprains.
One study followed 142 patients with ankle sprains. One group used a cream with comfrey root fluid extract on the ankle while the others received a placebo. After eight days, the group that used the cream had significantly less pain than those who used the placebo.9
In another study, participants with ankle sprains received either comfrey root extract cream or diclofenac gel, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). The ankle swelling decreased by 79.5% in the comfrey root group and 69.4% in the diclofenac group.9
