Along with Aloe Vera and Burdock, Marigold is one of the most suitable plants for relieving skin conditions. Learn about the benefits it can contribute to your skin and its other medicinal properties.

Calendula (Calendula Officinalis) - also known as Marigold- is one of the best-known plants for its dermatological properties. For thousands of years, it's been known for its uses both in medicine and cosmetic products. 

The generic name calendula derives from the Latin calendulae meaning "throughout the months," which emphasizes the long flowering period of the plant, and the specific name officinalis expresses its medicinal character.

It is specifically helpful for those who suffer from constant skin irritations or for the care of sensitive skin due to its anti-inflammatory, soothing and protective characteristics. It also provides high moisturizing and nourishing power.


What are the benefits of this plant?

Whether applied topically or consumed as an infusion, marigold is an effective medicinal plant that can treat multiple conditions.

  • Healing and antiseptic: It helps regenerate the skin and produce collagen. Marigold is highly recommended for healing wounds or treating scars.
  • Reduces inflammation: Controls inflammatory processes caused by chronic diseases. Marigold minimizes the symptoms of bone and joint disease. It is also effective in healing gingivitis and pharyngitis.
  • Moisturizes the skin: It contributes to maintaining the health and hydration of the softest and finest skins. Marigold is emollient and soothing
