Rosmarinic Acid: Possesses anti-inflammatory properties

Tannins: Have astringent properties that can help protect damaged tissues and reduce inflammation.
-
Mucilage: Provides a soothing effect on the skin by forming a protective barrier, which helps retain moisture.
-
Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids (PAs): Though present in small amounts, these compounds are known for their healing properties but can be toxic if used internally or over broken skin.
-
Saponins: Contribute to its cleansing and anti-inflammatory effects.
These compounds collectively make comfrey root a popular choice for topical applications to support wound healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate discomfort.
