Calendula, also called pot marigold, is a member of the
daisy family that is native to Europe and cultivated as an annual in cooler
climates and as a perennial in warmer regions. It is a companion plant to other
species in the garden that are affected by soil nematodes and those that
benefit from the presence of pollen beetles.
Since the time of the ancient Romans and
Greeks, calendula has been used to make a natural dye for cloth. A
strong infusion (tea) of the flowers adds golden highlights to fair hair. The
flowers are also fed to canaries to enhance the color of their feathers.
Although the ancients could not have known
that calendula contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory carotenes,
the herb has been used for centuries to make topical preparations to ease
eczema, psoriasis, insect bites, abrasions, and other irritations.
