Calendula oil

Calendula oil

Calendula is an annual flower native to the Northern Mediterranean countries. The name refers to the tendency to bloom with the calendar, usually once a month or at each new moon. The term ‘marigold’ refers to the Virgin Mary, and the flowers are used to honor her at Catholic events. The Egyptians regarded them as rejuvenating properties. In the Hindu world, the flowers were used to decorate images of deities in their temples, as well as a dye in food, fabrics and cosmetics, and of particular interest, in the 18th and 19th centuries, calendula was used to color cheese.

Calendula has traditionally been used as a food and adds flavor to grains, rice and soups. The petals can be added to salads because of their brilliant color. As recently as 70 years ago, American doctors used calendula to treat amenorrhea, conjunctivitis, fever, cuts, scrapes, bruises, and burns, as well as minor skin infections.
