Calendula, also known as Calendula officinalis is an annual, herbaceous plant that naturally grows around western Europe, southeastern Asia and the Mediterranean. It’s a common plant in home gardens today, as it is the same species as marigolds and is often called by the alternative name pot marigold.
The bright yellow to deep orange flowers contain high levels of antioxidants in the form of carotenoids and flavonoids, as well as lutein and beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. It also has fatty acids, with the two dominant fatty acids being calendic and linoleic acids. Additionally, the flower heads are rich in oxygenated oils like monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. Aside from the usages listed above, calendula can also be used to help relieve wound and ulcer pain, may discourage cancer, and also has strong antimicrobial and antiviral properties.
There are no serious side effects from taking calendula.
As is the case with taking any supplement while you are pregnant or breastfeeding or taking medication, you should always consult with your healthcare professional prior to usage.
