It’s also known for supporting digestion and reducing inflammation internally when taken as a tea, aiding in soothing ulcers and promoting overall gut health.
Historical Properties
Calendula has a rich history, dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans, who used it for both ceremonial and medicinal purposes. In the Middle Ages, calendula was highly regarded for its ability to heal wounds, and it was often grown in monastery gardens for its practical use in salves and tinctures. Calendula also held symbolic significance, as it was believed to bring protection and good fortune when hung in doorways or scattered around the home.
