Unlike synthetic drugs, they have a  milder effect, low toxicity, are not addictive, are less likely to cause  allergies, do not decrease the body's defenses, improve immunity, and  more. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eScience knows almost 500 thousand species of plants, only about 290  of which are described as medicinal. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eComfrey \u003c\/span\u003eis among such plants, which  can be called miracles of nature. It was first mentioned in the recipes  of ancient China, Tibetan medicine, in ancient Zoroastrian manuscripts.  The legends say comfrey is a necessary ingredient in the elixir of  immortality.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor the first time the healing properties of comfrey were described  by Ibn Sina in the \"Canon of   Medicine\",  where he reported that this plant was used by the ancient Greek  physician and philosopher Dioscorides as a wound healing remedy. During  the Renaissance, comfrey was one of the most popular medicinal herbs.  Paracelsus successfully used the roots of comfrey to heal wounds,  ulcers, and fractures.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eComfrey \u003c\/span\u003ewas first introduced into scientific and practical medicine  by the English physician Charles J. Macalister. In 1912 he published in  the British Medical Journal an article on Symphytum officinale  (comfrey), where he described that allantoin derived from the roots of  comfrey promotes granulation and regeneration of damaged tissues. In  1921, French phytotherapeutist, H. Leclerc, wrote in the Parisian  pharmaceutical journal  Bull de la Soc.  d'Histoire  de la Parmacie  that the comfrey root is a panacea for the health  surgery. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eComfrey \u003c\/span\u003econtains an arsenal of biologically active substances, which  belong to different classes and have different-sided pharmacological  activity. The composition of comfrey includes allantoin, alkaloids,  consolidin, vitamin B12, flavonoids, tannins, vegetable oil, carboxylic  acid, rosemary acid, starch, proteins, inulin, phytosterols  (beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol), saponins, and amino acids.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe most important compound determining the pharmacological  properties of comfrey is allantoin, which is a powerful natural  stimulant of the growth of bones, joints and, muscle tissue. Allantoin  isn t produced by the human body, therefore it must come from outside.  The highest concentration of natural allantoin was found in comfrey  roots. Allantoin promotes wound healing, stimulates cellular  regeneration without hyperplasia, and inhibits proliferation of keloid  fibroblasts. Moreover, the substance has anti-inflammatory, hemostatic,  astringent, and coating properties. The main feature of comfrey is its  ability to accelerate regeneration of damaged tissues, especially in  bones and connective tissues.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eComfrey \u003c\/span\u003edrugs and supplements, including Dr. Christopher s ointment,  are effective in bone and muscle pathologies such as rheumatoid lesions  of joints and gout, osteochondrosis, arthritis and degenerative  arthritis, gout, sprains, pain after amputation, broken bones, sciatica,  osteomyelitis, thrombophlebitis, bone tuberculosis, and inflammation of  the periosteum.
