Herb A Day Campaign: Calendula (Marigold) | Calendula officinalis

Herb a day Campaign : Today we talk about the beautiful Calendula. Or, Marigold as some people know it by. This beautiful flower is popping up all over the place, so now is the time to make you some infused oil. It will help to support the skin and connective tissues. Because of its iodine content, it has great antiseptic properties. It is also so soothing for all types of skin irritations, rashes, burns and insect bites. The flower itself can be used externally as well as internally. It taste amazing in teas with other flowers such as chrysanthemum, chamomile or roses. I personally like it with damiana, cinnamon and dandelion root. Whether you want to rub it on your chigger bite or sip a cup from some fresh, summertime sun tea, Calendula will be a winner #winnerwinnercalenduladinner #tea #teas #bugbites #critterchompingsoother #nature #herb #masterherbalist #herbsman! #naturespharmacy #naturalhealing #cometotheherbside #herbadaycampaign #thankyou #dedicatedtothecraft
