Description
Calendula was traditionally used to treat stomach upset and ulcers, as well as relieve menstrual cramps. Today, the dried flowers of the Calendula plant are used in tinctures, ointments, and washes to treat skin injuries, such as burns, bruises, and cuts.Research has shown that Calendula can actually help wounds heal faster, possibly by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the affected area, which helps the body grow new tissue. It can also help to improve skin hydration and firmness.
