    We have to grow Calendula during the cool weather in late winter and early spring. I read that it was a natural antiseptic and now I'm going to steep some petals in olive oil and give it a try. I love your natural health lenses. Welcome to the Naturally Native Squids group. Don't forget to add your lens links to the appropriate plexos and vote for them.

    I love Marigolds! I didn't realise they were so useful too :)

    It's very helpful that calendula comes in many different forms.

    I love calendula too !
    I use it in some my handmade soaps and in my "Rescue My Skin balm".
    I is amazing for helping the skin.

    It is such a pretty little flower to have growing in mt organic gardens too : )

    Thank you for your informative article. I think you will help many folks to get to know calendula's value.

    Organically Yours,
    Diana

    Love the orange ones! Had one this year and took a pic of it, they're just so perfect, the picture didn't look like it could possibly have been a real flower, but it was!

    I just learned something new today about one of my favorite flowers, knew its great to repel mosquitos but not as a first aid treatment! Wowsers!

    Oh I have always loved that flower. Planted seeds every spring for years. But I see now thanks to your lens that I knew only a little of the value of this flower. Thank you!

    I second the diaper cream, it helps a lot.
