🌼 Calendula: The Golden Healer of Herbal Tradition

For centuries, Calendula (Calendula officinalis)—also known as pot marigold—has been celebrated across cultures for its vibrant blooms and powerful healing properties. Rooted in both folk medicine and modern herbalism, calendula is a true botanical ally for skin health and energetic harmony.

Historically, calendula was used by herbalists in Europe and the Americas to treat wounds, soothe inflammation, and even cleanse the energetic body. Its bright orange petals were often infused into oils, teas, and salves for everything from sore throats to burns and rashes.

At La Cegua Botanicals, we harness the gentle strength of calendula in several of our handcrafted products. We infuse it slowly in organic oils to draw out its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties—making it ideal for sensitive skin and natural healing.
