Comfrey abounds in the healing agents mucilage and allantoin.
A water extract of comfrey has been shown to stimulate production of protective substances known as prostaglandins in the stomachs of experimental animals, thus confirming comfrey s ancient reputation as a wound healer, inside and out. As the plant abounds in mucilage, it is frequently given whenever a mucilaginous medicine is required and has been used like Marshmallow for intestinal troubles. It is very similar in its emollient action to Marshmallow, but in many cases is even preferred to it and is an ingredient in a large number of herbal preparations. It forms a gentle remedy in cases of diarrhoea and dysentery. For its demulcent action it has long been employed domestically in lung troubles and also for quinsy and whooping-cough.
