Comfrey leaves are harvested and used fresh or dried to make into infused oils or salves and has been used for centuries to ease pain, inflammation, swelling, and bruising associated with traumatic injuries such as fractures, injured ligaments sprains, contusions and osteoarthitis. It is also excellent for soothing muscular pain from overexertion.
Cramp bark is used to soothe lower back pain and is used for arthritic joints made rigid from constant contracting. Topically, cramp bark salve can relax muscles and restore blood flow to injured joints and the surrounding tissues and works as an excellent anti-inflammatory, reducing pain.
These two herbs work great together and are a MUST have for a first aid kit!
