Aroma: Herbaceous
Comfrey Infused Oil is made by macerating the root of comfrey, a perennial herb native to Europe that grows in damp, grassy places like riverbanks and lakeshores. The root of the comfrey plant contains a high concentration of allantoin, which is a substance known for its ability to regenerate tissues and bones and promote new skin cell growth. This is why comfrey root (not the leaf) is highly recommended for a wide range of situations, including sprains, muscle pains, bruises, or irritations.
Comfrey Root has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and has many beneficial properties. It is said to have anti-inflammatory and wound-repairing properties that can speed up the body's natural recovery process. It is also excellent in skincare as an astringent that freshens up the look of skin while calming redness and soothing discomfort. With continued use, it can drastically reduce dryness and flakiness.
Comfrey Root is well-regarded by both aromatherapists and herbalists. It acts as an analgesic to decrease pain, is believed to repair wounds and broken bones, and prevents scars from forming while treating existing ones. Because the allantoin substance in Comfrey is mucilaginous, it cushions the wound when applied, allowing it to heal faster.
Our Comfrey Root Infusion is made using organic sunflower seed and vitamin E oils, which are used to soak comfrey roots to extract their healing molecules during the maceration process. The infusion is rich in allantoin and other healing compounds that are highly beneficial for the skin.
Comfrey's minimal aroma is extremely light, with a minty green note that diffuses within seconds, leaving a subtle touch of freshness that will not disrupt an already established blend into which it would be added. With its many benefits and minimal side effects, Comfrey Root Infusion has earned its well-deserved place as a staple in home first-aid kits and skincare products.
