Description

Straight from Sammi's garden on Bundjalung country, this is a supercharged infused oil made with comfrey that was home-grown, harvested, slowly dried and infused using a special method that maximises its potency.

Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) is our foremost topical medicine for promoting tissue healing. It has been the go-to botanical for root-doctors and wise-women for centuries, a cornerstone of folk medicine through the ages. Its Latin name derives from the Greek root-word "symphein", meaning "to grow together", which speaks directly to comfrey's unique ability to support the repair of bone, flesh and sinew.

Phytochemically, this is because of comfrey's high allantoin content, which acts as a strong cell proliferant. This means comfrey stimulates cell production to repair connective tissue, collagen and bone. Comfrey is also rich in tannins, which help to staunch bleeding, while its high mucilage content soothes acute inflammation.

Handmade in small batches by our qualified herbalists. 50ml bottle. For a deeper look at our full range of infused oils and how to use them, read our guide: Arnica Cream vs Arnica Oil: Which Is Better for Pain Relief?

Traditionally Used For

  • Tissue healing and repair (bone, muscle, connective tissue)
  • Sprains, strains and sports injuries
  • Muscle soreness and recovery
  • Joint stiffness and inflammation
  • Minor wounds and skin repair
  • Massage oil for sore or damaged areas

How to Use

Apply a generous amount to the affected area and massage gently into the skin. Use once or twice daily, or more often for acute injuries. The oil absorbs slowly, providing sustained delivery of comfrey's active compounds, making it ideal for evening use or when you have time to let it soak in.

Can be used on its own or blended with essential oils for a custom treatment oil. Also works well as a base for making your own salves at home.

Do not apply to deep open wounds. For external use only.

Ingredients

Comfrey leaf and organic Australian virgin olive oil. Farm-grown on Bundjalung country. Handmade in small batches.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is comfrey infused oil used for? Comfrey oil is primarily used for tissue healing, muscle recovery, joint stiffness and skin repair. Its high allantoin content stimulates cell production, which is why it has been traditionally known as "knitbone" for supporting the repair of bone, muscle and connective tissue.

What is the difference between comfrey oil and arnica cream? Comfrey Infused Oil focuses on tissue healing and repair. Our Arnica and Comfrey Cream combines both herbs for anti-inflammatory action plus tissue healing in a faster-absorbing cream base. Many customers use both depending on the situation.

Can I use comfrey oil on my face? Comfrey oil can be used on the face for skin healing and nourishment, but it is a rich oil so use sparingly. Patch test first if you have sensitive facial skin.

Is this the same comfrey used in your cream? Yes. The comfrey in our Arnica and Comfrey Cream and this infused oil both come from the same source. The difference is the format: oil for massage and sustained absorption, cream for quick targeted application.
