Calendula is particularly known for its moisturizing, cleansing, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, astringent, soothing, and healing properties. It is considered one of the best herbs for treating local skin issues, irritations, inflammations, infections, skin ulcers, and external bleeding. It is suitable for all skin types, but it is particularly recommended for dry and sensitive skin.

It can be used:

• In dressings as a tincture for minor burns (e.g., sunburns).
• In compresses soaked with infusion for stings (e.g., from bees).
• As a cream for mild eczema, dermatitis, and skin irritations.
• For the treatment of acne and old and new scars.
• In the quick healing of wounds.
• For diaper rashes in children or on the body and face as a moisturizing cream.
• For oral rinses or gargles, as well as for the treatment of gingivitis.

CAUTION!

• Oral intake should be avoided, as well as local application during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• It may cause allergic reactions in those who are sensitive to plants of the Asteraceae/Compositae family.
