Action of some proteic and carbohydrate components of Symphytum officinale upon normal and neoplastic cells.
Crude water extracts of symphytum officinale stimulated in vivo proliferation of studied neoplastic cells. Therefore, Symphytum is an effective cell proliferant.

Wound Healing and Analgesic Effects of Crude Extracts of Symphytum officinale in Rats.
The crude extract of S. officinale (comfrey) afforded the cicatrization process by increasing at first the number of fibroblasts and in a later phase, the number of collagen fibers in experimental lesions produced in rats. The number of blood vessels was also increased on the seventh day of treatment. On experimental edema induced by carrageenin in rat's paws, the crude extract at doses of 150 and 300 mg/kg showed no effect. Analgesic effect was seen with doses of 300 mg/kg.
