Calendula herbal oil has a reputation for preventing wound infections, cleaning and healing skin problems such as acne, impetigo and eczema, and helping to heal old scars. Is especially gentle in soothing inflammations such as cracked nipples due to breastfeeding (is non-toxic to baby). Can be used on chillblains, haemorrhoids and broken capillaries. Would blend well with many vegetable oils and cream bases, especially for skin sun care.
The herb's antifungal and antimicrobial properties help prevent infection and heal injuries to body tissues.
Calendula is also known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
components, which might help to fight cancer, protect against heart
disease, and ease muscle fatigue
