unfortunately no longer available., unique medicinal product, successfully used in clinical studies, only available from nature's best, do not compare with other comfrey based creamsour comfrey cream is a medicinal product for the symptomatic treatment of joint pains, sprains, inflammation, & strains associated with restricted joint mobility.the active ingredient is a liquid extract of comfrey root (symphytum officinale). the plants are harvested when they are three years old, to allow for them to have built up a sufficient concentration of the 'active' ingredients in their roots. a special process then ensures that these 'actives' are preserved & incorporated into the ointment.what makes our cream truly different from other comfrey-based creams however, is its use in clinical studies, where it has been shown to successfully target joint pain. in fact, participants using the topical cream experienced a 95% reduction in pain when compared to other treatments.the cream has a pleasant aroma & it leaves no trace once massaged into the affected area (non-greasy). its fast acting formula & easy application makes it the perfect choice for those 'on the move'. the amount of cream required will depend on the size of the joint to be treated & how bad the symptoms are. however we recommend you always read the label, & the information leaflet which is included in the carton.the comfrey plant is a common plant found growing wild along verge sides in the uk & throughout europe. it's pretty violet/white flowers hang like bells. the root has been prized for centuries for its 'active' properties. so much so that it has been known by many names including 'knitbone'.
