Traditional Use References  Comfrey, often known as ‘knitbone,’ has a long history of use in traditional wellness practices for providing comfort to bones, tendons, and muscles. This plant-based ointment is valued for its association with general musculoskeletal support, especially for areas prone to strain or soreness. Ancient Greeks are said to have relied on Comfrey in pastes and poultices for skin and tissue care, particularly after physical exertion or activities.
