Calendula
Calendula Officinalis is also known as pot marigold, and its yellow flowers are familiar to many. Most commonly used in balms, lotions and ointments, Calendula is best known for its soothing and healing properties.
Its anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties make Calendula a first choice for abrasions, minor cuts & wounds, rashes, insect stings, chapped skin and even sunburn.
Calendula helps to stimulate minor wound healing by encouraging epithelial growth. Used internally, it can support the immune system, aid liver function and calm the nervous system.
