Description

Native to the Mediterranean, Calendula is a highly versatile herb that has been used for centuries as a treatment for skin irritations and wounds. As an ointment, Calendula has been shown to stimulate greater blood flow to the skin and to promote the granulation of tissue, making the skin more supple and resistant to physical and chemical irritants.rnAn excellent topical ointment for eczema, rashes, stretch marks, chapped and cracked skin, boils, burns and scalds (to lessen scarring), venous congestion, varicose veins, bedsores, athlete’s foot and other fungal or bacterial infections, finger nail fungus, radiation injury/burns, ringworm, rosacea, scabies, sunburns, and insect bites. It is also effective for diaper rash and other skin problems in small children. Many other conditions are also treatable.
