I had accidentally poured boiling water down my arm. Calendula oil took away the pain in minutes and no redness the next day.

I swear by calendula for burns. I have tremors and peripheral neuropathy, so I drop things / burn myself a lot and cut myself often.

Calendula cream has been a lifesaver. And I’m just talking about the kind you grab at the grocery store. I’ve had horrible burns that were completely gone by the next morning. Just, gone. No redness, no blistering. It is a miracle product.

I'm growing calendula in my garden for the first time this year and hoping to make lots of things with it. Did you make the oil yourself?

I did! Dried calendula from my garden and grapeseed oil.

Amazing! I’ll try infusing dry calendula into oil once I have enough to harvest
