- Calendula Officinalis is a beautiful flower that may have healing benefits. Multiple studies have been conducted finding benefits for Calendula on the skin. In this video we will look at the research and show how to make a salve with it. Have you tried it for anything?

Calendula was used extensively on wounds during the Civil War.
This is awesome. Especially the calendula oil and bees wax salve. I believe her that it healed her grandpa's skin cancer spot. My dad did the same with a spot on his nose, but with aloe.
How might I purchase your calendula salve?
Do not believe such stories. If the spot disappeared, it was probably eczema, not cancer.
Don't forget, cancer KILLS...
I live in southern New Mexico (high desert) where our summers are really hot & dry. I planted Calendula in spring where it would be shaded from the western sun and it flourished! Of course I watered it every day…people don’t seem to water enough and wonder why their plants struggle. I had 2 plants that produced so many flowers that I was harvesting them every day. Some I let air dry and I had so many that I put them in the freeze dryer. 😊
I was given some seeds a couple of summers ago. I have three or four cups of seeds now. I plan on planting them all. Why not? :) They also make really cool photography subjects.
I'm im zone 8b in Washington state and I plant them in August (after the flowers make the seeds from this season) and they will come up and establish themselves and make it through the winter, even with snow and all and flower in the following spring and summer
Absorbine liniment contains essence of Calendula, but it should be used sparingly on skin because it contains defatting chemicals. The plant is also called Marigold, and contains Pyrethrin which is a strong insect repellent.
Calendula is actually called POT MARIGOLD. Marigold and Calendula are two different plants.
@@catherinehenry6762 The correction is gratefully received. Thank you!
I love this channel. Thank you so much for the content
Thank you again! So interesting. Very grateful 🙏❤️
Thx. Just purchased calendula salve from your friend.
Great tip, thanks!
Thank you so much for your lovely videos. We bought an Island this summer and we are looking at all our resident plants as we move forward with our future plans. We don't have any calendula up in the Canadian wilderness though 😊
Gracias !!!!
Thank You..
God Bless you 🙏🏽
Nice video
Thank you for the video, I'm glad you covered this topic! I also think that the method Sofia used is probably the best.
I've been wanting to make calendula ointment myself, and on the Internet some time ago, I saw videos of people who *heated* a calendula infusion on the stove to speed up the process.
However I also saw a study report according to which a 7% concentration of Calendula is much more beneficial for the skin than a lower or higher concentration. Therefore I believe that it's better not to use heat to make an infusion.
"... the 7% concentration of this product can act much better than the other concentrations, causing significant wound healing activity because of the collagen synthesis; however, the 10% gel is less effective than the 7% gel. Perez-Car reon et al. (2002) and Barajas-Farias et al.(2006) showed that some concentrations of calendula flower extract can be toxic (1 0 and 20 mg/kg doses produced an increment in the number of carcinogenic
hepatic cells 25 days later, but there is no application about this effect on the other days), so decreased collagen deposition in the 10% gel to the 7% gel may be due to this effect, and also each group contained only five rats and this can increase the error risk. To summarize the results of
this study, C. officinalis gel can affect collagen deposition and wound healing, but not all of its concentrations because it has both a dual and an opposite effect in different concentrations of this gel. Low concentrations have no effects and high concentrations have cytotoxic effects ..."

Thank you for sharing this. I had not seen this. I appreciate it. Blessings to you.
Yep, yep. I always combine comfrey and calendula in the salves I make. (I grow both.) I also use calendual tea for a rub when my large dog gets his regular ear infections. It is a quick healer.
I will never again grow marigold. I grew that until I discovered calendula's benefits. Marigolds stink and their stems lay down and root themselves making them super hard to remove at the end of the season.
My dog gets seasonal ear aches too. Where do you rub the tea ? Thank you for this tip!
@@Sandy-_s
We just use a cotton ball to rub it all inside his ear.
@@Boringcountrylife Thank you!
Do you know, what heals wounds better? What to use most? Is it Aloe Arborescens and Vera(Barbadensis)? Or Callendula Orange GEM?
Yes I get those hard looking things 😅 never knew it was the seeds 😅
How do I order your comfrey salve? I don't see it available in your store.
Another good video Chad. I was wandering how is your growing sweet potato is doing. I live in a similar growing zone. I'm looking into growing them indoors as an experiment.
2021 Went well. 2022 was a complete loss. But I was gone most summer and they were overrun with weeds. My fault.
Is it safe for animals, dogs, chickens or cats?
You’ve probably already done this, but if not, contact Bev. Maxine had surgery on long staying wounds on her legs just a couple weeks ago. Maybe this could still help(?), IDK.
Does the olive oil go rancid during the infusion period?
The link to that ladies site isn't here.
🙏🙏
Can you eat the leaves and stem?
Where are the links you mentioned?
I was gonna take your advice on a purchase of
Calendula Officinali.
Thanks
I would like those links also please
I was gonna ask the same thing!

Hey Chad, I regularly watch your videos. Your very informative and thorough! I have a question for you.
Is there anything natural that I can do to help reduce acne and inflammation on the face?
I’m really desperate and none of the over the counter remedies are working. :(
I’m willing to try anything natural that can help. Thank you.
There are a few things that you can do dietarily. Avoiding anything with dairy is one thing. That includes anything with milk and cheese. One other thing that can make a major difference is avoiding any form of refined fat like oil. That means avoiding olive oil, coconut oil or any form of butter. If you try that for two weeks you will likely see a massive difference and after a month you may see an incredible reduction. Eating a handful of nuts a day will get you all the good fat that you need. But even high amounts of nuts may produce acne. I know it takes some sacrifice but you will likely be rewarded with clear skin.

Yes that’s very challenging for me, I love cheese!
Should I eat a lot of vegetables?

Where do you buy the flowers to make the salve?
What about the greens?
Where do you buy the flowers to make the salve?
I buy things I don't grow from Mountain Rose Herbs.
@@Boringcountrylife ok thanks
This is no joke. I used this on a cat that continued to get in fights. When I applied this oil on the wound, it seems to heal within 3 days! Subsequent wounds and treatments proved it. WARNING: I would not use this for cysts or encapsulated wounds. It heals the outside so fast that it doesn’t permit proper drainage.
Very good information, thank you. Chad what camera and mic are you using to film your in person shots?
I mainly use the Sony A7sii for the interviews with an old manual Nikon 50mm f1.2. It is a relatively inexpensive lens with great quality. It is more the lens than the camera. I use an adapter that allows it to connect to the Sony camera. The mic is a rode wireless go 2. But if I were to buy a new one I would go with this for the mic. amzn.to/3htA9T7. That is an affiliate link. I am not trying to sell this mic but the non affiliate link was a massive URL.
@@HealthAndHomestead thank you, I really appreciate it!
Where is the link?
It’s in the description box and also in the first comment which is from chad.
Blessings
Found it. Thank you!
all that and you use 'light' olive oil, aka, heavily processed with detergents and deodorizers and heat.
Wait no one’s talking about how’s he pronouncing it wyd Cal-en-dula = call in dula
There is more than one way to pronounce it:)
WELL, When U mentioned that it might not be quite as easy to grow as MARIGOLDS , I FIGURED , I may as well SCRATCH this sucker 😏, as I have never had much luck with MARIGOLDS 😠…
Those things can be a B - - - - to grow for some reason…
Sofias contact no.
