Calendula Flowers

Size: 1oz

Calendula has been used medicinally to treat skin irritations, such as eczema, bruises, scars and scrapes. Calendula has been shown to help wounds heal faster, by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the affected area, which helps the body grow new tissue. It is also used to improve skin hydration and firmness. The dried petals of the calendula plant are used in tinctures, ointments, and washes to treat burns, bruises, and cuts, as well as the minor infections they cause. Calendula also has been shown to help prevent dermatitis or skin inflammation in people with breast cancer during radiation therapy.

Calendula is also one of the best herbs for lymphatic drainage because it contains bitter compounds and antioxidants that stimulate detoxification. Herbalist Rosemary Gladstar recommends calendula as a top choice for swollen lymph nodes and decongesting the lymph network. 

For other spiritual benefits, it can be used for happiness, prosperity, love and harmony.
