Calendula

Botanical Name: Calendula officinalis
Origin: Morocco

Purpose:
Calendula is widely valued for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for soothing irritated tissues and reducing inflammation in various conditions. Its astringent nature helps tighten and tone tissues, which can be useful for issues like hemorrhoids and varicose veins. Known for its antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, calendula is often used to support skin health and combat infections. Topically, it promotes wound healing and provides relief for cuts, burns, insect bites, rashes, sunburns, bruises, and abrasions, even aiding in more persistent skin conditions like gangrene and scabies. Calendula is also effective in addressing fungal infections, both internally and externally. Additionally, it has been traditionally used to support menstrual health, as its astringent and blood-decongestant properties may ease discomfort associated with dysmenorrhea.

Safety Precautions:
Individuals with allergies to plants in the Asteraceae family, such as ragweed, marigolds, or daisies, should use calendula with caution. Calendula may interact with sedative and hypotensive medications, potentially enhancing their effects. It may also affect blood sugar and cholesterol levels, so those taking hypoglycemic or cholesterol-lowering medications should consult a healthcare professional before use.
