Calendula (Calendula officinalis) is one of my favorite herbs. It can be used in so many ways.
I love it as a tea for digestive and stomach complaints, but my favorite use in in salves and balms. It has wonderful antifungal, antibacterial properites which makes it a great companion for the gardener.
Every year, I am bound and determined to get a rash of some sort or the other. When I do, I reach for calendula. I put some into a cheese cloth, add some oatmeal, lavender, plantain and other healing herbs and soak my skin back to health. After my bath, I put on some calendula skin ointment. My skin is now soft, smooth and itchy free.
I enjoy using natural ways to heal my body, mind and soul.
