What are the benefits of marigold flower extract?

Is marigold flower good for health?

Translating "efficacy" into "health benefits," marigold flower extract can provide practical benefits in the following five areas:

Skin Health
Topical Application: Calendula gel or cream can improve eczema, diaper rash, and radiation dermatitis. Clinical studies have shown that applying calendula gel or cream twice daily to cesarean section scars significantly reduced redness and swelling compared to the control group on day 10.
Internal Use: The vitamin C and carotenoids in calendula tea can increase skin elasticity and reduce discoloration.

Oral and Throat Care
Rinsing with warm calendula tea can relieve oral ulcers, gingivitis, and postoperative sore throat.

Feminine Intimate Care
A randomized controlled trial involving 80 patients with bacterial vaginosis showed that a vaginal gel containing calendula extract was as effective as metronidazole, without the side effects.

Digestive Health
The oleanolic acid and flavonoids contained in calendula can stimulate bile secretion and aid fat digestion. Drinking calendula tea after meals can provide relief for mild stomach pain and bloating.

Mood and Sleep
The volatile oils in calendula tea (such as α-pinene and limonene) have a mild sedative effect, relieving anxiety and improving sleep difficulties.

What are the benefits of marigold flower extract?

With the rise of "clean label" and functional foods, marigold flower extract has evolved from a traditional herbal remedy to a star in multiple applications:

Food and Beverages
Functional Teas: Blended with rose or mint, it can be made into "soothing sleep-inducing tea" or "gastrointestinal conditioning tea."
Natural Coloring: Due to its high carotenoid content, it is used in cheese, ice cream, bread, and other products as an alternative to artificial yellow pigments.
Healthy Beverages: "Immune Sparkling Water" and "Digestive Enzyme Drinks" containing calendula extract are now available in the European and American markets, promoting antioxidant and liver-protecting properties.

Personal Care and Cosmetics
Sensitive Skin Repair: Adding 0.5%–2% calendula extract to creams and serums can relieve redness and stinging.
Scalp Care: Adding this extract to anti-dandruff shampoos can reduce scalp inflammation and oil secretion.
Baby Products: Its mild antibacterial properties in baby diaper creams and wipes can reduce diaper rash.

Medical and Health Products
Soft Capsules: Combined with milk thistle and curcumin, it can be used as an auxiliary treatment for alcoholic liver damage.
Topical Dressings: Calendula extract can be loaded into hydrogel bandages to extend drug release and improve wound healing.
Veterinary and Pet Care: Adding calendula extract to pet sprays can help heal wounds and relieve itchy skin in dogs and cats.

As long as we pay attention to the taboos for people with allergies and special physiological stages, whether it is a cup of fragrant flower tea or a bottle of highly effective repair essence, calendula can add a bright "orange-yellow" to our health and beauty.
