The benefits of organic marigold flowers

• Anti-inflammatory for digestive mucosa: Calendula's triterpenes and flavonoids reduce inflammation of the gastric and intestinal mucosa. A well-established traditional use for gastritis, ulcers, and inflammation of the digestive tract.
• Healing and skin regenerating: In external application (oil macerate, infusion compress), calendula accelerates the healing of minor wounds, irritations, and mild burns. It is one of the most widely used healing plants in natural cosmetics.
• Digestive spasmolytic: Calms intestinal spasms, cramps, and colic, particularly when combined with chamomile.
• Antioxidant carotenoids: Lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene provide natural antioxidant protection.
• Certified Organic Agriculture: Pesticide-free. L'Herbier de France, specialist in European medicinal plants.

Active ingredients and their traditional role

Triterpenes (oleanolic and ursolic acids)

Calendula's triterpenes are its primary anti-inflammatory active ingredients. They inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes (COX-2, LOX) and reduce the production of inflammatory cytokines. Their action is documented on digestive and cutaneous mucosa. They contribute to healing by stimulating fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis.

Flavonoids (isorhamnetin, narcissin, quercetin)

Marigold flavonoids possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and spasmolytic properties. They relax intestinal smooth muscles, explaining the plant's spasmolytic action on digestive pain and cramps. They potentiate the action of triterpenes in synergy.

Carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene)

Carotenoids give calendula its orange color and contribute to its antioxidant protection. They nourish and protect the skin in external application, which explains the use of calendula oil macerate in care products for babies and sensitive skin.

Mucilaginous polysaccharides

Calendula polysaccharides form a protective film on irritated mucosa (gastric, intestinal, oral), isolating them from irritants and facilitating healing.

FAQ

Are marigold and calendula the same plant?
Yes, marigold (common name) is Calendula officinalis (botanical name). Both names refer to the same plant. In phytotherapy, marigold flowers and calendula flowers are identical. Do not confuse with marsh marigold (Caltha palustris), which is a different, toxic plant.

Can marigold infusion be used on a baby's skin irritations?
Yes, calendula is one of the most widely used plants in natural pediatrics for infant skin irritations. A cooled and filtered infusion can be applied gently as a compress on redness and irritations. Avoid contact with eyes.

Can marigold be combined with chamomile in an infusion?
Yes, it is one of the classic combinations in digestive phytotherapy. Marigold (mucosa anti-inflammatory) + chamomile (spasmolytic, soothing) form an ideal duo for overall digestive comfort. Both belong to the Asteraceae family: avoid this blend in case of allergy to this family.
