In the vast history of natural remedies, few herbs boast a lineage as rich and storied as comfrey (Symphytum officinale). For millennia, this botanical marvel has been revered for its remarkable healing properties, earning it the affectionate moniker "knitbone" for its ability to mend fractures and soothe aching joints. Its other healing and regenerative properties only added to this reputation, making it indispensable to every housewife and healer. Here at A Place on Earth, we're proud to honor this age-old tradition by harnessing the power of comfrey in our Skin-Balancer Lotions and Tub Teas.

The Greeks lauded its prowess in staunching bleeding and easing respiratory ailments, while the Romans turned to its regenerative qualities to hasten the mending of wounds and bones.
