We grow the calendula flowers in our own home garden. They grow without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Calendula has antiseptic, antibacterial and antiviral properties, which is why it has been used since the Middle Ages, e.g. as a wound ointment. It has been used throughout history to treat eczema and small ulcers, and thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, calendula-based products are also very popular in the treatment of acne and atopic skin.
