I am a huge fan of Calendula. We use it in just about every Juno's Garden product. But amazingly, very few people have heard of this amazing herb and what it can do.
Calendula comes from the Marigold family of flowers and has been used for years to heal minor cuts, burns, rashes and insect bites. I first used it in Europe years ago when I had chapped skin from a cold. Amazing - healed in hours!
One tip about using Calendula - always clean the wound first. It heals so fast that dirt and bacteria could get sealed in the wound. So be sure and clean before applying.
Calendula is sold in as an ointment, cream or oil in good natural food stores. I use the ointment and oil the most. In Juno's Garden products, we use the extract as well. Our popular Soothing Balm contains Calendula and one of its primary ingredients. This wonderful balm is perfect to use on dry, chapped skin.
