About CALENDULA (Pot Marilgold):
The taste and smell of this tea is sweet and flowery. Pot marigold, better known as calendula, is a beautiful annual flower that also possesses a multitude of health benefits. Rich in phytochemicals including lycopene, which is recommended to assist with the prostate and found in tomatoes, it is also rich in nutrients including – calcium, coenzyme Q10, vitamin C and vitamin E. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle, builds immunity, and lowers fever. As a compress it reduces inflammation and is soothing to the skin. Because of it’s anti-inflammatory properties, it is excellent for a baby that has diaper rash. Calendula tea or a calendula tea bath is not recommended for pregnant women. The entire plant above ground may be harvested, but usually young blooms are used. They also attract beneficial honeybees to the vegetable garden. Most plants will bloom a golden yellow, but a few plants bloomed a light creamy bronze.
