Calendula Benefits for Skin Health
Herbalists have long used calendula for skin health, including it in luscious creams or even herbal steams. Science has further validated this use by showing that calendula improves elasticity and skin hydration. I recommend frequently using calendula creams on your skin to keep it healthy, soft, and pliable.
Calendula can also be used to promote skin health after the skin has been damaged.
Calendula can protect skin after it has been exposed to the side effects of radiation therapy. One study showed that calendula worked better than the regularly prescribed pharmaceutical. In the study, 254 patients were given either trolamine (TEA) or calendula cream to apply after receiving radiation treatments. The researchers found that “The occurrence of acute dermatitis of grade 2 or higher was significantly lower (41% v 63%; P<0.001) with the use of calendula than with trolamine. Moreover, patients receiving calendula had less frequent interruption of radiotherapy and significantly reduced radiation-induced pain.”
Calendula Benefits for Skin Burns
Calendula creams, oils, and body butters can be used to soothe the skin after a sunburn. It helps to relieve inflammation and pain while promoting new tissue growth.
In addition to supporting skin that has been burnt by the sun or radiation, calendula also helps to heal tissues that have been burned by fire or by heat in the kitchen. Fresh poultices and hydrosol washes are two of my favorite ways to use calendula for this purpose.
It is especially applicable to severe burns, to promote healing and to prevent the formation of a contracting scar. - Finley Ellingwood
Calendula Benefits for the Prevention of Scars
Calendula can be used to decrease scar tissue, whether it is from wounds or from surgical scars. I like to apply it regularly as an infused oil combined with St. John’s Wort oil and rose hip seed oil.
Calendula Benefits for Varicose Veins
Calendula can be used both externally and internally to support blood vessel health and decrease varicosities, including hemorrhoids and varicose veins. I like to recommend it internally combined in a tincture or tea with yarrow and horse chestnut when using it for this purpose.
Calendula Benefits for Ulcers and Wounds
As a vulnerary, Calendula promotes the healing of wounds, even serious ones. In one study, patients with venous leg ulcers were divided into two groups. One group was treated with a calendula ointment twice daily for three weeks. The other group of people was treated with saline solution dressings. After three weeks, those being treated with the calendula ointment had a statistically significant acceleration of wound healing over those being treated with saline solution.
