The wonders of Calendula petals. The flower petals of the calendula plant (Calendula officinalis ), or marigold, have been used for medicinal purposes since at least the 12th century. Calendula is native to Mediterranean countries but is now grown as an ornamental plant throughout the world.
Calendula contains high amounts of flavonoids, plant-based antioxidants that protect the body against cell-damaging free radicals. Researchers are not sure what active ingredients in calendula are responsible for its healing properties, but it appears to have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial effects.
With the mixtures of the Calendula petals and the foaming milk bath makes this a awesome milk bath. This will be lightly scented with a honeysuckle scent since the calendula petal really doesn't have a scent. If you prefer the milk bath in its natural state, just let me know in the message box at checkout
