ComfreyCare Joint Cream is an easy to apply, non-greasy topical cream containing high levels of concentrated comfrey root extract, the active ingredient. Comfrey is much prized by herbalists and has recently found widespread acclaim for its health benefits when applied topically.
Comfrey or Symphtum officinale is a perennial herb that can be found growing throughout the British Isles. The leaves are large and hairy whilst the roots are long and fibrous, often growing up to a foot in length. Once known as 'knitbone; Comfrey root extract has been valued for centuries for its healing properties.
Enhanced with natural bergamot and cedarwood oils, ComfreyCare Joint Cream has a very pleasant smell without the use of artificial fragrances. Furthermore no artificial preservatives or colourants have been used, ensuring the natural colour of Comfrey root remains.
In a placebo controlled study published by Giannetti et al., Comfrey was found to decrease back pain when used topically.*
