Souci
Calendula · Marigold
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.

Ce que dit la science
- L'ajout d'un extrait de 1% de Calendula officinalis à une crème émolliente a considérablement amélioré l'hydratation cutanée et accéléré la réparation de la barrière après exposition à un irritant.
- L'étude a révélé que Calendula arvensis faisait partie des espèces végétales herbacées dominantes qui prospéraient pendant la saison humide à Rawdhat Khuraym, en Arabie Saoudite.
- Les extraits à CO2 d'Acorus calamus et de Calendula officinalis ont montré une faible toxicité et une bonne tolérance avec une activité antitussive marquée.
- L'étude a montré que la microencapsulation du lutéine des tournesols par une approche à base d'huile a entraîné une bonne solubilité et une efficacité de capsules favorables, bien que la fluidité ait été restreinte.
