This herb has been utilized in folk medicine throughout Europe and North America and has been widely cultivated. Much debate surrounds the safety of comfrey due to various parts and preparations containing potentially toxic alkaloids. It is important to understand that the part used, species, and time of harvest all come into play when determining the safety of this herb. A large body of traditional use supports its safety and efficacy if used intelligently and cautiously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA member of the Borage or \u003cem\u003eBoraginaceae\u003c\/em\u003e family, comfrey's relatives include both borage (\u003cem\u003eBorago sp.\u003c\/em\u003e) and heliotrope (\u003cem\u003eHeliotropium sp.\u003c\/em\u003e).
