زهور وبتلات الكاليندولا

Unless the user is allergic, the most commonly cultivated genus of Calendula, Calendula Officinalis, is safe to use, as it is known to have no side effects or drug interactions. The plant is, therefore, attractive to herbalists and homeopaths looking to increase the potency of their products.

Calendula is useful in reducing inflammation, especially around broken bones, and has antiseptic properties, as well. The herb has been known to promote healing in skin diseases, including ulcerations, lesions, boils and eczema.

Research into its anti-cancer properties is ongoing, especially in the Ukraine, where it is useful in treating cancers, such as Heren's Carcinoma.
