Calendula (Calendula Officinalis) For Skin Care

May 6, 2009 at 1:18 am Leave a comment

Calendula (Calendula Officinalis) is a marigold and part of the daisy family of flowers.  These plants have been used for skin treatement for centuries.  Calendula, along with honey, is a humectant.  Both of these ingredients in Thcalendula officinalisentix help the skin by absorbing and retaining moisture.  In addition to Calendula’s other healing aspects, it helps bring moisture into the cells of the skin.  Skin cells are missing more moisture than oils.  As the skin cells become hydrated they become healthier and thus more easily expel various toxins and protect the skin against sun and other damaging effects.

Calendula has been used to help heal skin ulcers, burns and wounds.  Both honey and calendula have been used in the treatment of open wounds for centuries.  You will find calendula officinalis in many of the better products for handling eczema.  I have seen a combination of honey and calendula in Thentix actually get rid of plantars warts.
