Calendula
Calendula is a flowering plant whose flowers are high in flavonoids. It contains triterpene saponins as well as carotenoids. Historically, calendula has been found to be antispasmodic, aperient, cholagogue, diaphoretic, and vulnerary. This herb was used during the American Civil War to draw out infection from injured soldiers.
Calendula may be helpful in treating skin diseases, ranging from skin ulcerations to eczema. A sterile tea has also been applied in cases of conjunctivitis. It is sometimes used for reducing inflammation, wound healing, and as an antiseptic. A tincture of calendula is sometimes recommended as a treatment for menstrual difficulties.
