Arnica is native to the mountainous regions of Europe where it can grow up to two feet high. It can also be found in Asia and North America where natives referred to arnica as 'mountain tobacco' and 'leopard's bane'.

It is popular in Germany where more than a hundred medicinal preparations are made from the plant.

Botanical Name: Symphytum officinale
INDICATIONS
Comfrey has traditionally been used in western herbal medicine to assist with the relief of:
- mild pain
- swelling associated with bruises
- mild joint sprains
- muscle strains.
Comfrey is one of the most popular medicinal plants for external use and its name is derived from the Latin 'confervere' which means 'to bring together'. It has been used for centuries for its anti-inflammatory capacity when bones were to be set and the healing process hastened, thus earning the herb its common names, 'Knitbone' and 'Boneset'. The chief (and most important) constituent of comfrey root is allantoin which promotes wound-healing and accelerates the regeneration of cells.
