Therapeutic Indications
Calendula is native to southern Europe and Egypt, but is now grown throughout temperate regions of the world. It is cultivated especially in northern Europe for domestic and medicinal use. It is an annual that grows up to 60cm in height with soft pale green leaves and bright orange daisy-like flowers.

This ancient herb has a reputation for helping in skin complaints, menstrual irregularities, varicose veins, haemorrhoids and poor eyesight.

The British Herbal Pharmacopoeia states that the flowers are used for enlarged or inflamed lymph nodes, sebaceous cysts, duodenal ulcers and inflammatory skin lesions. It helps with burns, cuts, eczema, greasy skin, inflammations, insect bites, rashes, and wounds. It is invaluable in its powerful skin-healing properties. The oil is also used extensively in cosmetics and perfumery.

Storage
Calendula oil should be stored in a cool, dry area until it is used. Once opened, refrigeration and tightly closing the cap will prolong its shelf life.

Usage
Calendula is unmatched in the area of skin care. Use Calendula on its own or blended with Carrier oilsto sooth sore, inflamed and itchy skin, burns (later stages only) eczema, diaper (nappy) rash, and for sore or cracked nipples. Gently rub a generous amount of oil into effected area.
