TRADITIONAL USES

Calendula officinalis L. has been used for medical purposes since the XII century. Calendula gets its name from the Latin word “kalendae”, which means new moon or the first day of every month. That’s because the bright yellow and orange perennial is believed to only bloom on the first of the month. Its extract, which comes from the leaves, petals, and seeds, is traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine, but it’s also used in Western medicine to internally treat ulcers, prevent muscle spasms, reduce fevers, and more. Topically, it’s just as healing for your skin.
