Calendula, known for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, is one of my favorite herbs to grow in the garden. This versatile flower is a go-to remedy for soothing a variety of skin conditions. Our homemade Calendula Salve is a daily essential in our household—perfect for calming everything from scrapes and scars to dry cuticles and chapped lips. It's especially helpful with three kids always in motion, as it works wonders on scraped knees, elbows, and even faces. I've found that it works faster than traditional antibiotic ointments, and it's safe enough to use on dry, congested nostrils too.
Calendula, or marigold, is a botanical marvel packed with skin-loving benefits. It supports wound healing by improving blood flow and oxygen to affected areas. Rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and carotenoids, it helps neutralize free radicals that damage skin, while enhancing hydration and firmness to delay signs of aging. Whether it's soothing eczema or alleviating diaper rash, Calendula's anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties make it a must-have for everyday skin care.
