Healing Naturally with Calendula

Calendula is known as the “mother of the skin” and has been used for generations to heal cuts, scrapes, rashes and skin irritations. Its healing properties are attributed to the presence of essential oils, saponins, flavonoids and alkaloids. The extract of the flowers aid skin healing by stimulating and soothing damage tissues. Pretty amazing stuff. The petals are composed of resins which contain a potent array of powerful antioxidant compounds. These protect the skin from free-radical damage and play an active role in healing. Calendula has been found to increase collagen and elastin in the skin and can assist in preventing the formation of scar tissue. Look for calendula in herbal forms in soaps and cosmetics, or as a homeopathic medicine.

We carry Boiron Calendula Cream with with us pretty much everywhere.
