A tall perennial plant with bell-shaped purple, pink, or white flowers, traditionally used in herbal medicine for healing wounds and reducing inflammation.
From Old French 'consoude' and Latin 'consolida' (to strengthen), literally meaning 'to make strong,' referring to the plant's historical use in bone-healing remedies.
Comfrey contains allantoin, a compound that truly accelerates cell growth—medieval herbalists were accidentally onto real biochemistry when they called it a healing plant!
