It's a little difficult to grow! It actually needs dirt! 🤣😂🤣😂 Great info, Doc!! Thanks again for all that you do!

Beautiful plant and my dog loves the flower every day. I use it on cuts, bruises and dry skin after soaking in olive oil - works do good. And, I add a dried flower to my tea in the evening.

Sound, shmound! It was great Doc and so are these short takes. I had learned to use "pot-marigold" about 18 years ago when I was active in homeopathy. We made a suave called "3-C Cream" with calendulla, chick weed, and comfrey 'stewed' in extra virgin olive oil at 200 degrees for about an hour, Then strained and added bee's wax to get the suave and placed into baby food jars to set over night opened then covered and put in the fridge. I am not too sure if it is still any good but I have about 4 jars left. The incredible experience with it was while we were baby sitting a small fair-skinned child back then the girl came to us with a terrible case of diaper rash. I had some of the cream in the fridge and my wife put some on her before putting her down for a nap. When she woke bingo - no more rash! It was a great validation of the propensity of natural medicine nature of healing!

Incredible! Thank you so much for giving me so much valuable info! Rare these days.

I steep the flowers in witch hazel and use a spray of this to ease any kind of skin irritation. Lovely! I even use it on my face.

Is this plant somehow related to marigolds? They look a bit similar in some things. And got curious to ask. (I did hear you later in the video say they were called pot marigolds'. Maybe that partly answers it, but not sure if that's actually meaning them being related.)

And does this mean you normal (non-calendula) marigolds have uses to if they are related?

Thank you for your video.

Can’t wait! Started a few dozen by seed and just put them in the ground. Can’t wait for them to take off!

This is one of my favs too! Not just because it helps with wrinkles either 😋

Will a eye wash/tea of Calendula help with shingles in the eye? I made a salve for the skin and a tea for the inside attack but I don't know what to do about the eye.

Nice jokes thank you for the info. Will grow these guys

[neolapeterson]

One of the last flowers a deer will eat as well. :)

[Sunrisesp]

So marigold and calendula have the same properties?

[itsmelaura]

Your store is out of stock, do you recommend any other places to buy? I really want to grow these in the coming year. Also is there a variety to chose from or just plain "Calendula" for purchase? Please and thank you!

It is really hard to find any books about the topical application of herbs for cosmetics. Do you have any thoughts about the following herbs for skin in addition to calendula? I live in east San Diego so I hope to grow these to use in my skincare creations at some point: Nettle, Self-heal, Marshmallow, Elderflower, Gotu kola, Lemon balm, ScullCap, Yerba Santa. Yerba Santa is a little more obscure for skincare but I like what I see regarding it's moisturizing properties. These would all be in an infusion of hemp seed and safflower oil. I wish I could use all California native herbs but some are too good not to include! I would love to include comfrey but would like this blend to be pregnancy friendly. Although all herbs should come with a warning (if sold to a customer).
