Furzero™ Organic Comfrey Herbal Salve

This herbal salve contains a unique blend of natural ingredients, including Comfrey, Horsetail, St. John’s Wort, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Beeswax, Pine pitch, Vitamin E, Shea Butter, and Lanolin. It also includes essential oils like Lavender, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Lemon, Sandalwood, Thieves, Frankincense, and Thyme.

This salve is carefully handcrafted in the rolling hills of Wisconsin, with many of the herbs sourced from the family’s organic garden. It uses locally and ethically sourced wildcrafted herbs and essential oils, as well as local beeswax, made with lots of care and attention.

The key ingredient in this salve is Comfrey, which contains rosmarinic acid, a powerful anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. It also contains allantoin, which stimulates new cell growth and tissue regeneration. Comfrey has been traditionally used to help with fractures, bruises, sprains, and inflammation.

Comfrey is known for its ability to stimulate rapid healing, earning it the nickname “knit bone” due to its capacity to help mend bones, tendons, ligaments, and tissues. It has growth-stimulating properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and acts as a natural lubricant, making it an excellent choice for issues involving bones and connective tissues.

St. John’s Wort is included for its soothing anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties, while Horsetail provides high amounts of silica to promote skin and connective tissue healing.

The addition of essential oils like Eucalyptus and Tea Tree further enhance the salve’s muscle-relaxing, congestion-clearing, antifungal, and immune-stimulating properties.

Finally, the salve is blended with extra virgin olive oil, which has been used since ancient times for nourishing the skin, and pure Beeswax to help emulsify the ingredients.

Why Choose ORGANIC HERBAL SALVE:

Some people strongly believe in natural remedies, while others are skeptical of them. Most people place a lot of trust in conventional medications. However, research has shown that certain antibiotics, which are often considered one of the greatest medical advancements, come with some significant health risks. Studies have linked the use of antibiotics to a 41% increased rate of Parkinson’s disease, a 40% higher risk of gastric cancer and lung cancer, a 60% greater risk of rheumatoid arthritis, and a 23-56% higher risk of depression. Antibiotics have also been associated with an increased risk of heart disease, which is the leading cause of death.

Your skin is the largest organ in your body, which means it can quickly absorb substances applied to it. Our organic herbal salve takes effect as soon as it is absorbed through the skin. Unlike oils, which need to be processed internally by your body, salves can be applied directly to the area you want to target. This allows for more precise application and faster results.

FAQs

Question: Is the product priced in USD?
Answer: Yes, the prices listed are in US dollars (USD).

Question: I’ve heard comfrey can be toxic. Is it safe to use?
Answer:
Comfrey has been used in traditional medicine for its healing properties, especially for skin conditions, wounds, and bone injuries. However, it’s important to be aware of its potential toxicity.

Safety Concerns:

1. Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids (PAs): Comfrey contains PAs, which can cause liver damage, veno-occlusive disease, and even cancer if ingested. Due to these risks, most health agencies, including the FDA, advise against internal use of comfrey (e.g., in teas or supplements).
2. Topical Use: While safer than ingestion, PAs can still be absorbed through the skin. Avoid using comfrey on open wounds or large areas of the skin. Limit use to small areas and short periods to reduce the risk of toxicity.

Safe Usage Recommendations:

1. Consult healthcare providers before using comfrey, especially if you have health conditions or are on medication.
2. Choose products labeled for topical use and follow instructions. Consider comfrey products processed to remove PAs, though they may be harder to find.
3. Apply comfrey only to small areas and avoid broken skin or mucous membranes. Limit the duration of use.
4. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if you experience any skin irritation, nausea, or other adverse symptoms.

Question: Can comfrey be taken internally?
Answer: Comfrey is traditionally used topically rather than ingested. There are concerns about its safety when taken internally due to the presence of PAs, which can be toxic to the liver. It’s generally recommended to avoid ingesting comfrey or using it in teas unless it’s a specially prepared, PA-free form intended for internal use and taken under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
