Calendula Tincture (Calendula officinalis) 2 fluid ounces in an amber glass dropper bottle.
A blossom of sun and silk, Calendula lifts the heart and mends the skin—petal by petal, stitch by golden stitch.
Beloved by herbalists and bees alike, Calendula is the glowing heart of the garden—bright, cheerful, and profoundly healing. Its golden blooms follow the sun, just as its medicine brings light to places within the body in need of warmth, renewal, and gentle repair.
Traditionally, Calendula has been used to cleanse wounds, calm inflammation, and move lymphatic stagnation. It was a favored remedy in European folk medicine for skin afflictions, slow-healing cuts, and tender internal tissues. Whether used externally or taken as a tincture, Calendula acts as a guardian of boundaries—protecting, restoring, and gently encouraging the flow of life.

-
Support wound healing and soothe irritated skin
