Calendula

Description

CALENDULA
As a medicinal herb, dried Calendula flowers are used. Calendula strengthens the immune system, is antiseptic, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, detoxifying, antispasmodic, and wound healing.

Usage:
Externally:
It is the best remedy for skin conditions, particularly inflamed wounds, chilblains, and rashes. Use calendula tincture for all kinds of painful and inflamed spots and fungal infections. Use the cream for rashes, varicose veins, rough skin, painful anus, thrush, and as a lip balm. Use the oil extract for dry rashes. A calendula compress helps with inflammations. Make a compress from calendula tea or tincture for inflamed areas on the skin, sore nipples, and sore eyes.
Internally:
Use a strong tea or a diluted tincture as a mouth rinse for sore gums and throat pain. Take tea or tincture for swollen lymph nodes, childhood diseases, inflamed tonsils, gastritis, gallbladder problems, painful menstruation, cellulite, and post-operative recovery. Use calendula along with comfrey for adhesions and stomach ulcers, and with sage against flu.
Dosage:
Use calendula flowers as desired. For childhood diseases, give half a cup of tea every two hours, made from three or four flowers steeped in a cup of boiling water. This equals one tablespoon of calendula flowers. For compresses, steep a handful of calendula flowers for 15 minutes in 6 deciliters of hot water.

Tip:
Calendula is very tasty when added to a salad!
