Hilde Hemmes Herbal’s Cream 100g, Comfrey
Comfrey is one of the most popular medicinal plants for external use and its name is derived from the Latin ‘confervere’ which means ‘to bring together’. It has been used for centuries for its anti-inflammatory capacity when bones were to be set and the healing process hastened, thus earning the herb its common names, ‘Knitbone’ and ‘Boneset’. The chief (and most important) constituent of comfrey root is allantoin which promotes wound-healing and accelerates the regeneration of cells.
Comfrey has traditionally been used in western herbal medicine to assist with the relief of:
- mild pain
- swelling associated with bruises
- mild joint sprains
- muscle strains.
Directions For Use
Adults: Apply to the affected area 2-3 times daily as required. DO NOT SWALLOW.

Hilde Hemmes
Born from a background and knowledge in herbs, Hilde Hemmes is the creative and inspirational energy behind her family-owned company, Herbal Supplies Pty Ltd. As Australia’s leading therapeutic herbal tea manufacturer, Hilde and her family take pride in being independent, competitive, flexible and fully-integrated, and their commitment to herbalism is still as strong as it was when the company was founded in 1985. Over the years Hilde has collected many rare, out-of-print books on herbs and their uses, and has discovered many valuable recipes and ancient formulae that may otherwise have been forgotten. She made a significant contribution to the Australian herbal industry as a pioneer of Swedish Bitters (a multi-purpose tonic) and the herb Epilobium parviflorum (also known as ProstaLobium®) which has traditionally been used in western herbal medicine to maintain / support prostate health. Hilde Hemmes’ herbal products satisfy the demands of today’s consumers who are well-informed and expect paramount quality standards. In recent years, the popularity of herbal medicine has become one of the fastest growing sectors of the complementary healthcare market and today it is a booming industry! At Herbal Supplies, we concentrate all our resources on what we know and love best – herbs!
