Organically grown in the US; this herbal water from healing Calendula officianalis blossoms is new to us. The traditional healing uses of Calendula include healing cuts, scrapes and bruises, preventing infection and healing ulcerated skin. It is known for its healing properties. Suzanne Catty recommends using this lovely new hydrosol as a mouthwash for any sort of needed oral care. She recommends internal use as treatment for irritable bowel, ulcers, or nausea. She also recommends its use as a wash for any sort of yeast or urinary tract infections.
We recommend it as a marvelously gentle wash or toner for irritated skin.
(There are those, usually me among them, who say it can not be a true hydrosol if it is not produced by steam-distillation also producing an essential oil. Well, true, there is no steam-distilled essential oil of calendula, only the CO2 extractions we offer, but this floral/herbal water is a true, naturally produced distillate of organically grown calendula blossoms.)
Our hydrosols are packaged in PET bottles with atomizer tops for ease of use. Hydrosols are perishable: keep refrigerated. For more information on how they’re made and their uses, click here.
