It clots blood fast- use the leaves as a compress. I've been told that those that used swords had a lot of comfrey plants 
As a salve or facial mud we just put ours in the blender with enough pure water to make a strong paste. Fresh is best IMO.
We grow a lot and have outdoor tubs and my favorite way to relax is to put that and some borage in with 6 inches of hot water, pull out the leaves after a while with a strainer and then fill the tub the rest of the way.
