Calendula officinalis
Organic
Marigold (Calendula officinalis) has a long history of traditional use in herbal practices dating back centuries. It is valued for its bright, vibrant blossoms and is commonly used in teas, herbal preparations, and topical botanical products. Calendula naturally contains a variety of plant compounds, including flavonoids, triterpenoids, glycosides, saponins, carotenoids, volatile oils, amino acids, sterols, and quinones. Research continues to explore the characteristics of these naturally occurring compounds.
Calendula flowers can be brewed as a tisane, or blended with tea leaves and other botanicals, as shown here in our Blooming Harvest Tea. Whole flowerheads can also be infused in oil for use in making salves and creams. The flowers can also be added to soups and broths. Prepare tea from the whole flowers, alone or in combination with other botanicals.
Calendula officinalis, alternatively known as Marigold calendula or pot marigold, is not to be confused with its smaller cousin, the garden marigold (Tagetes sp.), shown here.
Use with caution if you have an allergy to plants in the aster family, such as ragweed. As with any botanical, consult with a medical professional before incorporating Calendula into your diet.
