Calendula, scientifically known as Calendula officinalis, is a flowering plant that belongs to the daisy or Asteraceae family. Calendula plants have erect stems, growing up to about 60 centimeters in height. The leaves are green, lance-shaped, and slightly hairy. The flowers, which are the main attraction of the plant, come in various shades of yellow and orange. They have a daisy-like appearance, with multiple petals arranged in a circular pattern around a prominent central disc. Calendula is not only admired for its beauty but also treasured for its medicinal properties. It has been used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and wound-healing properties. Calendula extract or oil is commonly applied topically to soothe and heal minor skin irritations, cuts, burns, and insect bites. It is also known to be gentle and nourishing for the skin, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products like creams, lotions, and balms.
