Calendula to me is like bottling the sun, bright and cheery with petals that reach out from a central point it reminds me of how I used to draw the sun when I was a child. It has long been one of my favorite flowers and by far the herb I have used the most often for the longest period of time.
 Known for its soothing properties, this beautiful yellow flower contains carotenoids which are high in antioxidants and can help prevent premature aging of the skin. Calendula has antiseptic, anti fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, and that makes it an excellent choice to use on your skin!

I put it in both O My Goddess Herbal Face Cream as well as the Herbal Salve. I have had so many good reports of people who use Herbal Face Cream, it seems to make one glow older rather than grow older! I have had reports of it reducing redness, and even those with mature skin that start using it on their face notice a difference within a short amount of time. Perhaps that is because calendula increases circulation and bring more oxygen to the skin that can help promote new cell growth

I received a great letter last week from a happy customer who said:


"I've been using it for two weeks now and my skin is positively glowing and gorgeous"


And as far as the salve goes, over the years people have reported good results using it on dry irritated itchy or red skin. From diaper rash, eczema, hemorrhoids and everything in between. Here is what one person wrote to me last winter:

"
So, it's cold and blowing here this weekend and my hands have been taking a beating this winter. They have been saved by your healing salve though. I put it on again last night at bedtime and my hands are nice and soft this morning.  I don't use it every night, I save it for emergencies.  The other hand creams are barely maintaining my hands though so I have been using the healing salve as a preventative as well as a cure.  Good stuff!!  Thank you!"



Calendula is doing such good work in this world! I hope some ends up in your hands soon!

    I just love plants! That is all there is to it!! I grew up with a farmer father and an urban mother so as a compromise we lived in town, planted the front yard in potatoes and every weekend we spent in the small country side village  where my father was born. It was there where I  spent my childhood roving and running around in outside being fascinated by all things natural.
    This love of nature and plants led me to becoming a herbalist when I was still a teenager and I have been on this beautiful green path ever since.
