Calendula petals

A bag of Calendula petals (Calendula officinalis) sourced from organically grown plants in New Zealand, meticulously hand-collected by our registered naturopath and medical herbalist. Calendula petals are renowned for their potent lymphatic-cleansing, diaphoretic, circulatory, and immune-stimulating properties, effectively purging the remnants of lingering infections. We incorporate Calendula petals into our specialised tea blends, including Lymphatic and Diuretic Tea and Immune & Lymphatic Tea. Calendula, a vibrant and medicinal herb with centuries of historical use, serves as a natural means to promote overall health and well-being. When the radiant petals of Calendula are steeped to create medicinal tea, they unlock a myriad of potential health benefits:

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Calendula tea contains compounds known for their innate anti-inflammatory effects. Consuming this tea may assist in mitigating inflammation within the body, potentially benefiting individuals with conditions such as arthritis or inflammatory skin disorders.

Immune System Support: Calendula boasts a rich antioxidant profile, featuring flavonoids and carotenoids that have the potential to fortify the immune system. Regular consumption of calendula petal tea may empower the body to better fend off infections and illnesses.

Skin Health: Calendula has a storied history in skincare due to its soothing and skin-healing attributes. Drinking calendula tea can foster healthier skin from the inside out, aiding in the reduction of skin irritations and redness.

Digestive Aid: Calendula tea is gentle on the digestive system and can offer relief from symptoms of indigestion, ulcers, and gastritis. It also provides comfort for an upset stomach.

Menstrual Relief: For some, calendula tea may alleviate menstrual cramps and discomfort. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help alleviate the pain often associated with menstruation.

Wound Healing: Traditionally, calendula has been employed to support wound healing. While topical application is common, drinking calendula tea can also contribute to the overall healing process within the body.

Mood and Relaxation: The act of savoring warm calendula tea can induce a calming effect, aiding in the reduction of stress and anxiety. It serves as an excellent choice for unwinding after a long and taxing day.

Oral Health: Calendula tea's antimicrobial properties can promote oral well-being. Gargling with cooled calendula tea may provide relief from mouth sores, sore throats, and gingivitis.
