Calendula, commonly known as pot marigold, is a flowering plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. It is native to southwestern Asia, western Europe, and the Mediterranean. Calendula is well-regarded for its bright yellow to orange flowers and has been used for centuries for ornamental, culinary, and medicinal purposes.

In herbalism, calendula is often valued for its potential anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and healing properties. Calendula-infused oils, creams, and salves are commonly used to promote skin health and address minor skin irritations, wounds, and burns.

Calendula has been utilized since ancient Indian times and is known for its cooling properties and bitter, pungent taste according to Ayurvedic healing principles. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is believed to be neutral and drying, and is commonly used to promote healthy skin. In many North American indigenous cultures, it is traditionally used to aid in relieving occasional stomach discomfort. Its traditional uses align with many modern applications of this versatile plant.*
