Whenever I see Calendula, she brightens up my day! Known as the “Herb of the Sun”, the flowers open in the morning and close in the evening (solar plexus goddess beauty rest).

She’s great for cleansing old infections and swellings under the skin and strengthening the thymus (brain of the immune system). A tea made with her sunshine flowers is a blessing in the case of chronic stagnation and allergic congestion. She’s a nourishing herb (food medicine), providing high levels of protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, carotenoid and essential fatty acids.
