Herb of the Month: Calendula

Join me, Ashley Elenbaas, M.Sc. RH(AHG), a clinical herbalist with over 15 years of experience, as I dive into the world of Calendula officinalis. In this video, I explore the rich history of calendula as both a medicine and a natural dye, and how it has been traditionally used to clear stagnant physical, emotional, and spiritual patterns in the body. Learn how calendula supports the lymphatic system, accelerates wound healing, and discover various methods to grow, take, and craft powerful medicines like teas, tinctures, skin balms, and oils. Whether you're a seasoned herbalist or just beginning your journey, this video offers valuable insights into the healing power of calendula.
