Calendula is also called pot Marigold and is a member of the daisy family that is native to Europe. Since the time of the ancient Romans and Greeks, calendula has been used to make a natural dye for cloth. A strong infusion (tea) of the flowers adds golden highlights to blond hair. The flowers are also fed to canaries to enhance the color of their feathers. Calendula officinalis (aka pot marigolds or English marigolds): A native of southern Europe, this “marigold” is actually not a true marigold, but is an attractive companion plant nonetheless. Its bright flowers are edible—with a tangy, peppery taste—so it is often grown alongside herbs in kitchen gardens.
Calendula flowers contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory carotenes, the herb has been used for centuries to make topical preparations to ease eczema, psoriasis, insect bites, abrasions, and other irritations. Infused in oils, used to make lip balms, salves, creams, lotions, and hair and skin rinses. Excellent for making natural diaper rash creams and other products for babies and children.
Calendula is used in the cosmetics and fragrance industries. It is also used industrially as a coloring agent for cheese and other foods.
