Calendula is one of the best herbs for treating local skin problems. Calendula may be used safely wherever there is inflammation on the skin, whether due to infection or physical damage. It may also be used for any external bleeding or wound, and bruising or strains.
For digestive problems, Calendula may be used with Marshmallow Root and American Cranesbill. As an external soothing application, it can be used with Slippery Elm and any other relevant remedy. A useful anti-septic lotion will be produced by combining it with Goldenseal and Myrrh.
