Having mild astringent properties, Swiss Comfrey Root tightens, tones and shrinks open pores. It also helps to dry up and ease skin ulcers, sunburn and skin sores, making this versatile ingredient an excellent treatment for eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.
Tannins

Joint Pain Relief
Another important use of Swiss comfrey Root is that is can help to effectively reduce pain caused by conditions such as arthritis, and injuries like muscle strains and sprains.
Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory
A substance called Rosmarinic acid is found within the Swiss Comfrey Root and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects on the skin once applied. It can also help to protect the skin from UV damage.
