Botanical Name: Calendula officinalis

Calendula is a well-known herb and uplifting ornamental garden plant that has been used as a colorant and food plant for centuries. It is also commonly referred to as marigold or pot marigold.

Calendula flowers can be infused in oils and incorporated into lotions, creams, and balms. They brighten herbal tea blends and make a tasty calendula tea infusion.

It has long been popular in herbal medicine for its alleged healing properties. Tea made from the Calendula officinalis plant is often applied externally to wounds and burns, or taken internally to heal tissues of the mouth, throat, and digestive tract.
