If you typically turn to alternative medications for treating minor ailments, you are likely familiar with calendula. Calendula ointments are popular alternatives to antibiotic cream when seeking to treat minor cuts, burns, and other skin irritations. Way back in the 11th century, it is believed that calendula was first cultivated by St. Hildegard of Bingen, who was an herbalist nun, calendula flowers are also considered sacred in India, and used to embellish Hindu statues.
What exactly is Calendula?
Most people know the calendula flower under its more common name, marigold. A relative of daisies, marigold is native to southwest Asia and western Europe, as well as the Mediterranean. Their brilliant yellow-gold petals have made marigolds a popular flower in many gardens. Historically, marigolds were used to make vibrant yellow dye. Their petals are edible, and sometimes included in salads, as well as steeped into a nurturing cup of herbal tea. Calendula Tea offers a sweet fragrance, but a somewhat spicy, bitter taste, making a drop of honey a pleasant complement.
How to make Calendula Tea
Make Calendula Tea using fresh boiling water, and a shorter steep, as it leans towards the bitter side. Cover the cup while steeping to extract full benefits. Remove the tea bag when ready and enjoy.
