Calendula is a medicinal plant rich in healing properties and is widely used in folk medicine as well as modern healthcare. Its flowers are abundant in biologically active substances and provide numerous health benefits. In particular, calendula has strong anti-inflammatory effects. It helps reduce skin and internal inflammations, relieves swelling and pain. It accelerates wound healing and is effective for cuts, burns, injuries, and insect bites. Calendula is also highly beneficial for skin conditions. It soothes and cleanses the skin in cases of dermatitis, eczema, rashes, and acne. Moreover, it strengthens the immune system by enhancing the body’s natural defenses and helping fight colds and infections.
It is commonly used for oral and throat diseases. Gargling with calendula infusion is helpful for angina, stomatitis, and gum inflammation. Calendula also improves gastrointestinal function by reducing inflammation in gastritis and stomach ulcers and supporting digestion. Additionally, it has calming properties — it soothes the nervous system and improves sleep quality.
