Symphytum officinale

The elder flower is rather musk-scented. Some feel that its perfume is somewhat psychoactive, and this may be the reason why so much lore and legend surround it. Elder blossoms are often used in herbal salves for tropical application to the skin. Other common herbs included in such salves are comfrey leaves (Symphytum officinale), calendula (Calendula officinalis) blossoms and plantain (Plantago major) leaves. [Pg.19]

Comfrey is a perennial herb used for the prevention of kidney stones nourishing and repairing bone and muscle and for the treatment of injuries such as burns and bruises. In Australia, comfrey is classified as a poison and its sales have been restricted in several regions. Many different commercial forms of comfrey are marketed, including oral and external products. Commercial comfrey is usually derived from the leaves or roots of Symphytum officinale (common comfrey). However, some products are also derived from Russian comfrey. Russian comfrey contains a very toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloid, echimidine, which is not found in common comfrey. However, common comfrey contains other hepatotoxic alkaloids, namely 7-acetylintermedine, 7-acetyllycopsamine and symphytine. The metabolites of these alkaloids are very toxic to the liver. Ridker et al. documented hepatic venocclusive disease associated with consumption of comfrey root. Long-term smdies in animals have also confirmed the carcinogenicity of comfrey in animal models. ... [Pg.42]
