Comfrey: Comfrey (Symphytum spp.) has been used traditionally for bruises, and external and internal wounds. Its traditional name, bruisewort, is derived from its suggested ability to reduce swelling and bruising. Topical comfrey containing creams have been used in clinical study for bruises, sprains, and distortions and painful conditions of muscles and joints. Although there is good scientific evidence supporting the use of comfrey for inflammation, scientific data on the specific effects of comfrey for bruises is lacking. High quality clinical research is needed in this area for a conclusion to be made.Natural Standard Monograph, Copyright © 2008 (www.naturalstandard.com).
