Comfrey salves, ointments and teas are best know for the topical treatment of burns, skin ulcerations, abrasions, lacerations, flea and insect bites, and just about any skin irritation.

This most famous of the medieval wound herbs, agrimony retains its importance today as a healing herb with a wide range of uses.
