Calendula


Alternative Name:

Calendula officinalis

  • Calendula (Calendula officinalis), also known as pot marigold, has a rich and diverse history. While its exact origin is somewhat disputed, there’s no question about its importance in more recent history.

    Europeans and early American colonists relied on calendula for its sunny disposition and gentle immune-boosting properties during cold winters. It was commonly used in soups, stews, herbal infusions, and beauty treatments. Ancient Egyptians rejuvenated their skin with calendula, while the Greeks and Romans used it as a culinary garnish. In India, it’s strung into garlands for weddings and religious rituals.

    Calendula was also associated with magical properties—offering protection, prophetic dreams, and positive outcomes in legal matters. Its sunny disposition and medicinal benefits continue to make it a cherished herb.
