Herb Connect: Calendula

Did you know that Egypt grows Calendula along the banks of the Nile River?

Calendula has many medicinal benefits including.

• antimicrobial - strengthen the immune system

• promotes collagen production - hydrates and nourishes dry/inflamed skin

• estrogenic properties - reduce pain during menstruation

• relieves muscle spasms.

During the sun drying process the Calendula petals fade from orange to bright yellow color. Find them in many of our blends including our Cran Apple Detox.
