Calendula, with its bright orange or yellow flowers, is a natural healing plant, that flowers annually to add vibrant colour to any garden. These flowers open with the sun and close at night, following the rhythm of nature. But did you know that calendula flowers are more than just beautiful? They’re packed with therapeutic properties making it a heavy hitter in the natural healing plant space. When picked at their peak, calendula flowers contain powerful healing constituents that give them antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties.
At The Herb Farm, we make our own calendula tincture onsite. This ensures we get the most out of this nimble plant, which we then add to our healing and skincare creams. Calendula is well known for being the best extract for softening and healing the skin, which is why it’s an essential ingredient in many of our products.
I’ve personally experienced the power of nature’s healing plant, calendula, in a very memorable way. One day, I cut my finger while working, and it wouldn’t stop bleeding, even after applying three band-aids. I remembered the healing power of calendula and quickly wrapped my finger in a fresh calendula leaf. To my amazement, it worked instantly and stopped the bleeding. Since then, calendula has become the first thing I reach for whenever I have any cut or wound that’s bleeding.
Calendula isn’t just for cuts, though. An infusion of the flowers can also be used as an eye wash to soothe irritated eyes and heal bloodshot eyes. It’s truly a versatile and effective plant with a wide range of uses – it truly is one of nature’s healing plants.
