Marigold

Calendula

Calendula, primarily associated with traditional medicine practices, is a plant that has not been extensively documented for specific traditional uses. However, it is known to be commonly used in topical applications due to its purported skin-healing properties. Scientific evidence suggests that Calendula officinalis extract can improve skin hydration and accelerate barrier recovery after irritant exposure, indicating potential benefits for skin care. While the CO2 extracts of both Acorus calamus and Calendula officinalis showed low toxicity and good tolerability with pronounced antitussive activity in one study, there is limited evidence directly linking these properties to Calendula alone. The safety profile of Calendula appears favorable, with no major issues recorded. Similarly, there are currently no reported drug interactions associated with its use.
