Overview
Calendula (Calendula officinalis), with its radiant orange and yellow blooms, is a go-to herb for skin care and inflammation support. The dried petals of calendula are known for their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making them a popular choice for creating herbal teas. Known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and soothing properties, Calendula is a staple in herbal skincare products like salves and oils. Internally, its gentle action supports the lymphatic system and digestive tract, making it ideal for tinctures targeting systemic inflammation.
