Comfrey Eases Back Pain Naturally

In a clinical study involving 120 people between the ages of 18 and 60, researchers found that ointment infused with comfrey root extract quickly and dramatically reduced back pain. The ointment was given three times a day for five days. Those participants who received the comfrey infused ointment vs. a placebo reported an average of 95% less pain. Those who received the placebo reported 39% less pain. The comfrey root infused ointment relieved pain within one hour, and has shown to be more effective than over-the-counter anti-inflammatory creams.
