Calendula
Calendula quickly became a must have in our apothecary when I started learning about all its benefits. It ranges from helping viral and bacterial infections, to moisturizing and nourishing dry/rashy skin, to supporting the lymphatic and immune systems. This plant can be taken as a tea, tincture, as well as infused in oil. The list goes on with the benefits of this magnificent flower, so it was a no brainer when I was creating my rejuvenating facial cream. Grown, harvested, dried, infused, and crafted into something grand all on our little farm. Plus, it's such a vibrant color! We love it!
