Health Information

Calendula preparations are approved in Germany and other European countries for topical use on slow-to-heal wounds and for ulcerations on the leg. Calendula extracts are anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and stimulate the immune system to increase the particle ingestion capacity of white blood cells. (In this respect calendula is similar to echinacea). In addition, calendula increases granulation at the site of a wound, promoting metabolism of proteins and collagen - in other words, helping grow new healthy cells. To be used on clean cuts and abrasions only. Excellent antiseptic healer to clean wounds. Promotes rapid, scarless healing.
