comfrey

Any herb of the Eurasian genus Symphytum (borage family). Best known is the medicinal common comfrey (S. officinale), used to treat wounds and as a source of a gum used to treat wool. Traditionally it was also taken internally for various complaints. Organic farmers use it to deter slugs and as a green manure. The coiled sprays of bell-like, hanging comfrey blooms are usually pollinated by bees. Common comfrey is about 3 ft (90 cm) tall, with winged, hairy stems and blue, purplish, or yellow flowers.

Carrie, who set up her own business after working at Garden Organic Ryton, uses everyday plants such as lavender, comfrey and heather to make natural products.
Enriched with glycerine to moisturise, ginseng to nourish and rejuvenate, healing comfrey, and pure essential oils of camomile, almond, lavender and rose, it promised beautifully hydrated skin and I cannot complain.
