What is Calendula?

Calendula officinalis is the scientific name for Marigold! Marigold as we all well know is a common garden plant, producing lush yellow blossoms that open and close in time with the sun.
The golden flowers are usually considered to be the medicinal part of the herb. The flowers contain saponins, flavone glycosides,and vitamin A. The effect is similiar to witch hazel and arnica, as an anti-inflammatory and soothing topical compress.
