Organic Whole Dried Calendula (Genda/Marigold) - Medicinal/Ayurvedic Flowers
Organic Sun-Dried Medicinal Whole Calendula Flowers (Marigold)
Discover the golden blossoms of our organic sun-dried whole Calendula flowers, also known as Marigold, Genda and Cempazuchitl, a treasured herb with a rich history and myriad of health benefits.
Our whole Calendula flowers – a vibrant mix of golden yellow and deep orange – are organically grown in the lush, fertile soils of Sri Lanka, where traditional farming methods and tropical sun help preserve their rich colour, aroma, and potency. These carefully hand-harvested blooms have been revered for centuries in both Eastern and Western herbal traditions for their gentle yet powerful healing properties.
Known in Ayurveda as a soothing herb for Pitta and Kapha doshas, Calendula (also called Marigold) is celebrated for its cooling Virya (energetic effect), bitter and astringent Rasa (taste), and affinity with the skin, blood, and lymphatic system. In ancient India, it was often paired with Blue Lotus in temple offerings and healing rituals. From sacred ceremonies to battlefield balms, Calendula has a long and honoured history.
Ethically Sourced. Sun-Dried. 100% Organic.
Grown without chemicals or synthetic inputs, our Calendula flowers are harvested and dried with care to preserve their colour, fragrance, and healing compounds. They are free from artificial additives, irradiation, or fillers – just whole, potent flowers from nature.
Reconnect with the ancient healing power of Calendula – one of nature’s most beloved herbal allies.
Skin Healing & Wound Care: Applied topically as a poultice or infused into oils, Calendula supports the repair of wounds, burns, bruises, and inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties are attributed to carotenoids, flavonoids, and polysaccharides that help stimulate tissue regeneration and prevent infection.
Hormonal & Reproductive Health: Calendula contains gentle phytoestrogens that help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce discomfort related to PMS and menopause. As a tea, it is traditionally used to ease cramps and promote uterine balance.
Digestive & Liver Support: In both Ayurvedic and European traditions, Calendula has been used to soothe ulcers and gastrointestinal inflammation. Its bitter, detoxifying nature supports healthy liver function and bile flow.
Oral & Dental Care: A decoction of Calendula flowers makes a gentle, antimicrobial mouthwash that supports gum health, relieves gingivitis, and promotes healing after dental procedures.
Immune & Lymphatic System Support: Calendula is believed to help clear stagnant lymph and move excess heat from the body, supporting the immune response and overall vitality.
Tea/Infusion: Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried Calendula flowers in hot water for 5–10 minutes. Strain and enjoy warm or cooled. Can be blended with other herbs for added effect.
Topical: Infuse into carrier oils for balms, salves, and massage oils, or use in herbal steams and bath soaks.
Ritual Use: Ideal for altar offerings, ceremonial teas, or sacred baths in line with its historical use in devotional practices.
