One of my favorite herbs - Calendula (Calendula officinalis) or Pot Marigold, that belongs to the Compositae Family.  I grown it here at Golden-Aire Farm and have a source if I run out from Greenup County, Kentucky.  The flowers are the part of this wonderful herb that has traditionally been used medicinally and studied in great detail.  The plant is used in the form of infustions, tinctures, liquid extracts, creams or ointments or in many over the counter skin and hair care products around the world.

Calendula contains saponins, micronutrients, flavonids and polysaccharides - which all may contripbute to the antiedematous, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and would healing effects of this amazing plant.
The  polysaccharids in Calendula also contribute and demonstrate bioadhesive or mucilaginous effects to not only demonstrate decreased inflammation by shielding tissues from irritants - but also facilitating tissue hydrations.
