Calendula (Calendula officinalis), also known as Pot Marigold, is one of natureβs most radiant and restorative herbs. Native to the Mediterranean region and cherished by Europeans since the 12th century, Calendula has been a trusted companion in both kitchens and apothecaries for centuries.
Unlike the common garden marigold (Tagetes species), Calendula officinalis belongs to the Aster family and is prized for its vibrant golden and orange blossoms, which hold powerful healing and soothing properties. These colorful flower tops are harvested and naturally dried to preserve their essence, ready for use in herbal teas, skincare formulations, and traditional remedies.
At Vendorh.com, we celebrate the heritage of African and Mediterranean herbs by connecting the world to their authenticity, purity, and healing power.
