Marigold, specifically Calendula, is one of the most effective and gentle skin-healing herbs. In Ayurveda, its cooling and vulnerary (wound-healing) properties make it excellent for pacifying Pitta and Kapha. It is used to soothe all kinds of skin irritations, including rashes, insect bites, minor burns, and inflamed acne. It promotes rapid healing and helps to prevent scarring.
● For a Skin-Healing Oil: Infuse Calendula powder into a carrier oil like SUPHERB® Olive or Jojoba Oil by gently heating it or letting it steep in the sun for several days. Use this golden oil to soothe any skin irritation.
● For a Calming Face Pack: Blend the powder with colloidal oatmeal and water to create a simple, soothing mask for red or irritated skin.
● For a Healing Poultice: Mix the powder with a small amount of water to form a paste and apply directly to minor cuts, scrapes, or insect bites.
We select vibrant, resin-rich Calendula flowers from organic cultivators, ensuring they are harvested on sunny days when their medicinal properties are at their peak.
The delicate petals are carefully dried and ground into a fine, brilliantly colored powder, capturing the complete skin-healing essence of the flower.
