Product Description
Description:The Flower Petals Of The Calendula Plant (Calendula Officinalis), Or Pot Marigold, Have Been Used For Medicinal Purposes Since At Least The 12th Century. Calendula Is Native To Mediterranean Countries But Is Now Grown As An Ornamental Plant Throughout The World. It Is Not The Same As The Annual Marigold Plant That' S Often Grown In Gardens, However.
Calendula Has High Amounts Of Flavonoids, Plant-based Antioxidants That Protect Cells From Being Damaged By Unstable Molecules Called Free Radicals. Calendula Appears To Fight Inflammation, Viruses, And Bacteria.
Traditionally, Calendula Has Been Used To Treat Stomach Upset And Ulcers, As Well Relieve Menstrual Cramps, But There Is No Scientific Evidence That Calendula Works For These Problems. Today, Calendula Is Often Used Topically, Meaning It' S Applied To The Skin.
Calendula Has Been Shown To Help Wounds Heal Faster, Possibly By Increasing Blood Flow And Oxygen To The Affected Area, Which Helps The Body Grow New Tissue. The Dried Petals Of The Calendula Plant Are Used In Tinctures, Ointments, And Washes To Treat Burns, Bruises, And Cuts, As Well As The Minor Infections They Cause. Calendula Also Has Been Shown To Help Prevent Dermatitis Or Skin Inflammation In Breast Cancer Patients During Radiation Therapy.
