🌼 Traditional medicinal usage

Calendula has been used for centuries in herbal healing systems around the world:

• European & Western herbalism: valued as a skin-soothing and wound-supportive flower, traditionally infused into oils, brewed into teas, and crafted into salves to support cuts, scrapes, insect bites, rashes, dry skin, and inflammation.

• Traditional tincture and infusion preparations: used to support lymphatic movement, seasonal immune balance, digestive comfort, and gentle detox pathways.

• Ayurveda: recognized for its cooling and Pitta-balancing properties, traditionally used for skin, digestion, and internal heat regulation.

• Indigenous and folk medicine traditions: infused into water or oils to support skin repair, joint comfort, digestive ease, immunity, and overall vitality during seasonal shifts.

• Historical apothecaries: commonly used in herbal oils, compresses, balms, and skin-focused formulas, especially for soothing, repairing, and restoring the skin barrier.

This flower has long been called “nature’s golden healer” for its gentle but effective support in topical and internal herbal preparations.
