Calendula is my number one choice herb for all skin conditions. It relieves pain and itching, prevents infection, and promotes healing by improving blood flow.
In recent years with the increased cases of people experiencing mild to severe gut issues due to poor nutrition / lifestyle choices and the abhorrent use of man-made chemicals in conventional agriculture such as glyphosate (which should be banned in every decent country in the world), the need to find natural agents that can assist the body’s mucosal lining heal and restore natural permeability of the cell lining is ever prevalent. Calendula officinalis has been in the forefront of modern research and clinical studies to determine its efficacy in that regard, given its known and proven properties affecting the skin. (Skin cells are very similar physiologically to the cells of the mucosal lining).
