What is Whole Calendula used for?
Calendula officinalis is a medicinal plant with recognized virtues, particularly appreciated in phytotherapy and cosmetology for its healing, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Cultivated mainly in Central Europe, the Balkans, Germany and the United States, this plant is prized for its dried, crushed petals, which are used in many skin and mucosa preparations.
Marigold is rich in triterpene saponins, carotenes, flavonoids and polysaccharides. These components give it a powerful healing and anti-inflammatory action, ideal for skin care. It is recognized for its ability to effectively relieve sunburn, insect bites and skin irritations, and facilitate the healing of small wounds. Its ability to fight infections, particularly those caused by Staphylococcus aureus, makes Marigold a natural remedy of choice for skin problems.
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, Whole Petal Calendula is an invaluable ally in the treatment of skin conditions such as eczema, acne and dermatitis. Its soothing, restorative action rapidly relieves irritation and reduces inflammation, offering immediate comfort.
Marigold petals are also rich in antioxidants, making them invaluable in the fight against skin ageing. These antioxidants protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, preventing the acceleration of the aging process and helping to maintain healthy, radiant skin.
In addition to its external applications, Marigold also benefits internal health. Infused, it helps soothe digestive disorders, ulcers and menstrual discomfort thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties, offering a gentle solution for general well-being.
Thanks to its many properties, Whole Petal Marigold is an essential part of the natural pharmacopoeia. It meets a multitude of needs, from skin care to the improvement of certain internal conditions, making it a true treasure of nature at the service of your health.
