Lus na gcnámh briste healing plant medicine balm. A traditional Irish remedy.

Introducing Lus na gcnámh briste as it is called as Gaeilge (in the Irish language) which literally translates to the plant of broken bones. In English, you will know this plant as Comfrey or colloquially as knitbone. 

A powerful plant medicine native to Ireland, Lus na gcnámh briste (Comfrey) has been used for thousands and thousands of years by our Irish ancestors and would have been a common remedy used in every household.

Lus na gcnámh briste (comfrey) is known for its powerful anti inflammatory and pain relieving properties and has an effective ability to ease the skin, muscles and bones where there has been a signifiant point of impact.  It is excellent at reducing swelling, bruising and pain and has the ability to “knit” and mend the bone if it has been fractured or broken - hence where it got its name. 

It has traditionally been used for thousands of years to help treat:

• Broken or fractured bones

• Bruising or hematomas

• Swelling and pain

• Sore joints (arthritis)

• Sore muscles or connective tissue

This balm is beautifully relaxing on the body with a gentle and relaxing aroma of lavender.
 
Lus na gcnámh briste (comfrey) now has many scientific studies confirming and supporting the medicinal properties our Irish ancestors understood all those years ago.
