Q.
Health Canada has cautioned the use of Comfrey, what are their concerns.
A.
Health Canada has placed a warning on the use of Comfrey of the Russian and Prickly Comfrey variety. These contain a contituent called echimidine, which has been known to cause liver damage when taken internally in large doses.
Matter Company does not use these varieties of Comfrey; instead we use symphytum officinalis, or common Comfrey that has not been cautioned against by Health Canada.
Q.
Is Comfrey Safe for use on my skin?
A.
Yes. It is one of the main ingredients used in herbal medicine for helping to repair broken skin. This is due to the presence of allantoin, a chemical constituent that has cell proliferating properties to help heal wounds very quickly.
I have been using this for years, for all kinds of skin issues -- and I have very sensitive skin. I don't usually use it on my palms, because I find it a bit too greasy for that, (even though the "greasy" feeling doesn't last long) but do use it on the backs of my hands and wherever else I need it. It's one of my all-time favourite body-care products.
I bought this salve for my father because of his poor chapped hands. He used to be a trades person and developed calloused hands over the years. Due to his old age, his hands have now turned from being rugged to being dry with poor skin integrity. His chronic dry skin resulted in painful cracks that never fully healed on his fingertips. He would further exacerbate his condition when he insisted on hand-washing his dishes. It was notably worse for over a year. No matter what sort of hand lotion or oil he used, the lesions would always come back. It hurt my heart to see his hands bleeding and in pain for so long. When I read the description for this salve at OOAK, I decided to give a try. My dad’s hands healed almost completely and he loves the relief that this product gives him. Thank you matter company for this wonderful product.
This is my go to lotion. My family makes fun of me for carrying it everywhere and using it on any skin that needs care. I find it to be gentle and soothing and healing. I am never without some nearby. Thanks for making these amazing products!
All Heal Salve is one of my favourite products - I use it everywhere and wish it came in bigger packaging!
Bought at a pop-up market in Ottawa and I have a patch of very dry skin on my hand. She saw it and asked if she could try something and within 10 minutes it was almost completely gone. I bought some and it is by far the best product I have used for my dry patch. Thank you :)
