Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Cold-weather Calendula As cooler weather moves in, so can colds and flu. Use these tips about herbal remedies – presented each Sunday throughout October - to help address the health challenges of the season.If chapped lips or dry skin are a problem, find natural relief with calendula, an herbal remedy made from the petals of the ornamental "pot marigold" flower. Available in tinctures, oil, lotions, and creams, look for products with at least 10 percent extract of Calendula officinalis. A gentle, effective remedy is to wash the skin with a diluted solution of tincture. You can also apply ready-to-use calendula skin products or oil directly on irritated areas. Calendula can safely be used for skin irritations, rashes (including diaper rash), eczema, acne, and minor burns.
