Calendula flower petals 25g

Calendula [Latin: Calendula officinalis] is an annual plant species from the Asteraceae family. Although it is naturally native to the Mediterranean region, it has become permanently established here. Today, it can be found in its natural form both in gardens and among field crops. Calendula is known in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries for its numerous valuable properties. The most sought-after and commonly used herbal raw material is the flowers or the petals themselves.

Calendula flowers contain:

• extremely valuable essential oils, which are widely used in cosmetics, pharmacy, and herbal medicine
• Flavonoids, which are characterized by anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and support the elimination of toxins from the body
• Phytosterols, which according to studies may have a preventive effect against the development of cancer
• Triterpene saponins, which are characterized by a broad spectrum of therapeutic properties, from diuretic, expectorant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial to fat-digesting properties
• Carotenoids, which protect the body from many serious chronic diseases
• Bitter compounds, mucilage-forming compounds, and organic acids

Tip

Store in sealed, resealable containers. For this reason, each of our packages is equipped with a drawstring closure that makes sealing and opening easier. With calendula flowers in simple foil, there is not only the risk of them absorbing moisture upon opening, but they can also very easily spill out of the packaging, for example in a drawer or cabinet. We care about your convenience!
