From well-known medical herbalist, Richard Whelan:
’Personal experiences
Calendula is the subject of one entire book on my shelf and has been revered for many centuries by many cultures. I find Calendula to be a remarkably healing herb and use it widely for people who are not getting better after injury or illness as they should.

Calendula is a friendly, palatable and easy to use herb. If I drink a few of its dried flowers in a tea with a quiet and attentive mind …I can better feel the 'action' of the herb and how it is such a gentle but at the same time strong healer. Calendula has a kind of 'binding' energy that can see it being much more than only a herb to take when there is a physical injury.
…I warmly recommend you try drinking a cup yourself some time when you are simply feeling a bit fractured from the troubles that life can bring. I think by the end of the cup and by how much better (e.g. peaceful, centred, optimistic) you will feel within you will gain a life-long appreciation of just how much healing there truly is in this common, and beautiful flower.

I have found that the internal use of Calendula can be superb for digestive disorders where the tissues have become sore or broken, including such serious conditions such as gastric and duodenal ulcers. For direct tissue healing on a damaged gut wall Calendula works best in a tea form and here I will often combine it with one or two other great healing herbs such as plantain, yarrow or shepherd's purse.

As an internal tonic herb calendula has phenomenal power in cleansing the lymphatic system and when there are the symptoms of lymph congestion such as swollen glands, heavy rings under the eyes, poor healing and fatigue then the three greatest herbs to work in this area are calendula, cleavers and poke root, all best used in small doses (just a few mls a day of the combined tinctures) along with plenty of movement or massage.’
