An herb that has large gray/green leaves and spikes of pale pink flowers in the spring make it a dramatic plant for the landscape. Comfrey is known for its medicinal value. The oil you find when you squeeze a comfrey leaf will affect any insect bite from wasps and bees to spiders. Rubbing a bite will greatly lessen stinging and itching. It helps heal wounds by increasing blood flow to affected areas. Necrotic ulcers caused by brown recluse spiders have been known to be completely healed with virtually no visible scarring.
