Sunny,

Calendula is one of the herbs I grow and make

medicines with for my patients. If anyone is

interested email me @ aesculapius_ca

The following is an article I wrote.

Rand Smith, Master Herbalist

The Gentle Power of Calendula

Calendula officinalis has to be my favorite plant, not

only because it's so good to look at (most of us know

it as the pot marigold), but because it's a veritable

pharmacy in its own right.

The Latin name Calendula is derived from calends, the

first day of the summer months in the Roman calendar.

" Officinalis, " because this species of marigold was

the official one in the dispensary of healing. And

what a range of conditions this decorative garden

flower can heal.

Calendula is a potent treatment of choice for any

illness affecting the liver or caused by liver

malfunctioning, such as jaundice, hepatitis, and

cirrhosis.

Calendula is a digestive stimulant, useful for lack of

appetite, malabsorption, or poor digestion (which

often results in smelly feet). It also helps with gas

and constipation. It is also a powerful healer of

wounds in the digestive tract, such as ulcers, colitis

and diverticulitis.

Calendula is the best remedy for varicose veins, and

may be used both internally and externally as an

astringent. It helps to restore tone to the veins and

eases circulation.

A monograph on herbal medicinal substances presented

in 1 987 by the West German Bundegesundheitsamt

(Federal Health Authority) confirmed that calendula

flowers have an inhibiting effect on inflammatory

process in the mucosa of the mouth and throat and that

calendula has a healing effect on cracks, bruises and

burns. In fact, calendula promotes tissue granulation

in fresh wounds as well as chronic, poorly healing

wounds, leg ulcers and local dermal inflammations.

A powerful blood cleanser, Calendula can be used with

great success in cases of chronic eczema, boils, acne

and teenage spots. " it also works on the lymphatic

system to treat swollen lymph glands, tonsillitis and

chronic sore throats. Its ability to strengthen a weak

immune system also makes it useful for viral and

fungal infections.

During the First World War, Dr. Hoyle used Calendula

to dress wounds in his front-line hospital. Dr.

Dorothy Shephard also used the tincture during a World

War later and found that it prevented infection in a

way other antiseptics didn't.

Calendula has a special affinity for the reproductive

system. It can restore irregular periods and heal any

wounds in the gynecological area caused by abortions,

miscarriages, or surgery for ovarian cysts, polyps,

pelvic inflammatory diseases and so on. It is also

used as a healing agent after a traumatic delivery or

caesarian section. A safe herb to take during

pregnancy, Calendula can help with irritability, water

retention, skin eruptions and thrush.

On the emotional level, Calendula can comfort the

heart and spirit. It is used for people who are

nervous and easily frightened, who have poor defenses

against stress, who pick up illnesses easily and feel

needy of protection. Calendula is particularly good

for shock and trauma. It helps people ground

themselves and find strength in the face of crisis.

This first-day-of-summer herb brings light and hope in

times of darkness.

Calendula Ointment

For the skin, calendula is the remedy par excellence

in speeding wound healing. Calendula ointment has

been used for at least 800 years, exceeding versatile

medicament used for treating burns, skin problems,

venous congestion, varicose veins and decubitus ulcers

(bedsores). It has been clearly demonstrated in all

the above conditions that calendula ointment

accelerates the healing of both large and small

wounds, promoting granulation of tissues.

Calendula ointment also stimulates the blood supply to

the skin, making it more supple and more resistant to

mechanical and chemical irritants. Small cracks in

the skin, such as in the splits, chapping, and

fissures that often occur on the lips, in the corners

of the eyes, on fingers, or on the nipples, can often

be painful. These heal quickly if they are massaged

with calendula ointment.

Use Calendula ointment for eczema, for burns and

scalds to lessen scarring, and for athlete's foot or

fungal infections. It is great for diaper rash and

other skin problems in small children.

Suggested use: Apply calendula ointment locally as

needed.

Ingredients: Calendula officinalis flowers, Vitamin E,

in a base of bees wax.

I have tried so many prescriptions and have seen a

number of specialists - dermatologists, nothing worked

for my constant itchy skin. In fact, I gave up

trying, I just ignored the itch and then my wife

brought home Calendula ointment. This ointment is

like a miracle ointment - as soon as I applied it - my

itching went away. So try it, it worked for me.

James O., Wpg, MB

Because of my medications, I have very dry skin on my

hands that I have learned to live with because nothing

else prescribed for me worked. When I first applied

Calendula ointment; I could not believe it, but my

hands healed. So I stopped using the Calendula

ointment and my dry skin came back, now I apply the

ointment once daily and have normal skin again.
