Calendula is a big daisy growing in the fields and phytotherapy uses all its parts: flowers, leaves and stems. However, it’s effective only when it’s fresh. It has always been known for its astringent, perspiratory and diuretic properties. It has recently been acknowledged to be effective also for some serious disorders.
Used externally, it often treats skin diseases for which antibiotics and corticosteroids were ineffective.
It can treat skin ulcers and verrucas.
As for cosmetics, the application of fresh pot marigold juice on your hands makes them velvety and helps removing age spots. On the contrary, using the oil every night helps healing chaps.
Pot marigold bath is moisturizing.
