Featured Herb
Calendula | Calendula officinalis | Family: Asteraceae

Calendula clears congestion, promotes the healing of tissue, and clears toxins and inflammation. It supports skin healing and liver health, and can increase peripheral circulation.
A twelfth -century herbal recommends calendula to ‘improve eyesight, clear the head, and encourage cheerfulness’.
