[Somnastra]

Comfrey
Knitbone

Comfrey, or knitbone as it is most commonly known, is a herbaceous perennial that prefers deep, moist soil and partial shade. It has oval, pointed, rough-textured leaves with blueish bell-shaped flowers that appear in late spring. It is found in damp meadows, near rivers and streams.

Planting
Comfrey can be planted in spring or autumn, and should be placed roughly two feet apart.
It is increased by division, as a root with bud.
Comfrey will flourish in almost any environment when planted, including dry soil. This plant will also live over twenty years if cultivated properly.

Harvest
Fresh leaves can be harvested any time
Roots can be harvested in autumn

Dry in about a week
Should snap cleanly​

Parts Used
Leaf

fresh​

Root

fresh
dried
powdered​

Stem
Flower

Uses
(Speeds cell renewal in damaged muscles and broken bones. Not fit for heavy consumption.)
A salve concocted from the fresh herb will certainly tend to promote the healing of bruised and broken parts.
Poultices, compresses, and ointments can be applied externally to bruises and inflamed muscles and tendons.
Roots can be used in casts for broken bones
Poultices can be applied to cuts, boils, and abscesses.
An oil made from comfrey reduces puffiness and softens the skin.
Can be applied to varicose veins.
A tea made from the leaves can be used to treat irritated digestive systems, particularly ulcers and coughs.
Can be used as compost/fertilizer.

Varieties
Common knitbone (pictured above)
(Russian comfrey - name pending!) - A larger, hardier variety of the already hardy plant.

(oh, uh... and @Deash12 and @Michcat might be interested in what I'm doing :3 )

+It's difficult to tell, as Som has been sticking to loose blouses and tunics, but she looks like she's been gaining a bit of weight around her midsection.
