Comfrey is a complicated herb, containing a large number of constituents. The Pyrrolizidine-type alkaloids (PA) have been the major topic of concern. There are 12 known PA’s in comfrey which include: symphytine, symlandine, echimidine, intermidine, lycopsamine, myoscorpine, acetyllycopsamine, acetylintermidine, lasiocarpine, heliosupine, viridiflorine, and echiumine. It also contains carbohydrates e.g. glucose and fructose in the form of Inulin, as well as the gums: arabinose, glucoronic acid, mannose, rhamnose, and xylose. Comfrey contains tannins which are substances that bind up proteins giving them astringent properties; and the Triterpenes: sitosterol, stigmasterol, steroidal saponins and isobauerenol. Other constituents include allantoin, caffeic acid, carotene, chlorogenic acid, choline, lithospermic acid, rosmarinic acid and silicic acid. The therapeutic value of comfrey is attributed to its content of allantoin, a cell proliferant, and rosmarinic acid, an anti-inflammatory agent and inhibitor of microvascular pulmonary injury. The rhizome of comfrey contains a higher percentage of allantoin in the early spring (January to March), decreasing as the plant grows. The allantoin then transfers to the young shoots and buds until the fall. Comfrey also contains an abundance of mucilage, a slimy, moist polysaccharide that works to moisten and soothe tissues.
