Dear friends! We recently talked about the beneficial properties of calendula. This is truly a unique plant. Today we will take a closer look at using calendula at home.
Almost everyone who has at least a small piece of land grows this plant, simply marigold flowers, some for its medicinal properties, some just for beauty, some to repel pests, like Colorado potato beetles.
In the last article we learned how to make tincture, ointment and oil from flowers. All of them have excellent healing properties, as they have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects. If you haven't read this article, read it by going through it. But I warn you, in order to start using dosage forms from calendula, you still need to know the exact diagnosis, and only a doctor can do this. Of course, you can buy tincture and ointment at your nearest pharmacy; they are inexpensive. But if you have marigolds growing on your property, why not prepare them yourself and use them for your health?
Calendula tincture can be used internally and externally. Alcohol tincture, due to its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect, eliminates any inflammatory processes and various secretions accompanying inflammation that arise as a result of damage to the skin and mucous membranes.
When using the tincture, tissue regeneration significantly improves as a result of the destruction of pathogenic microflora. The active ingredients contained in the tincture have a detrimental effect on staphylococcus and streptococcus. These pathogenic microbes infect wound and ulcer surfaces and interfere with the rapid healing process.
Let me remind you that a 2% alcohol solution of calendula is used for oral administration. I have already written how to prepare the tincture, i.e. For 100 grams of 70% alcohol take 20 grams of calendula flowers. Infuse in a dark and warm place for 2-3 weeks, then filter.
Take 20-30 drops 3 times a day. You can dilute the tincture in a small amount of water. If there are no special recommendations from a doctor, then the tincture can be taken for 3-4 weeks. Children over 12 years of age are prescribed 1 drop of tincture for each year of life.
The tincture is used for the following diseases:
Local application implies direct contact of the drug with the site of inflammation. The tincture is used for inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract (tonsillitis, pharyngitis) and the oral cavity and gums (stomatitis, gingivitis) in the form of rinses.
To rinse the mouth, dilute 1 tbsp. l. tinctures in a glass of warm boiled water. Before the procedure, you must first rinse your mouth with plain water. During the day, carry out at least 6 rinsing sessions, the duration of one rinse should be at least half a minute. The course of treatment is at least 5-7 days or until complete recovery.
A good result is achieved by using bandages soaked in calendula tincture for infected shallow wounds, cuts and
For the treatment of acute external otitis, 10% calendula tincture is used. To do this, you need to instill 1-2 drops of warm alcohol tincture into the ear 2-3 times a day. For inflammation of the middle or inner ear, make a warm compress with the same tincture.
In gynecology, for colpitis or cervical erosion, douching with a marigold solution can be done. For this, 1 tsp. Dilute the tinctures in 1 glass of warm boiled water. Used as an additional treatment.
Also, for the prevention of female inflammatory diseases during daily hygienic care, you can add 1 tsp to the water for washing. tinctures per 1 liter of water.
For the treatment of boils, eczema, and minor damage to the skin, calendula ointment is very helpful. Applying the ointment to the problem area of the skin helps relieve inflammation, relieve itching and irritation, soothes and regenerates the skin.
The ointment is applied directly to the problem area, rubbed into the skin with massaging movements and allowed to be absorbed. The ointment must be applied to clean skin 2-3 times a day until complete healing. If this is a wound surface, then it is better to make a bandage with ointment, which is then fixed with a bandage.
The ointment helps well with bruises, bone injuries, and joint diseases.
By the way, fresh calendula leaves can be applied to purulent wounds, abscesses and ulcers. Crushed leaves are good for calluses and warts. And fresh juice from the leaves can be used to lubricate cracked heels and toes.
For teenagers during puberty, the appearance of acne on the face is a disaster. Pimples or blackheads appear more often on oily or problematic skin. Therefore, teenagers squeeze them out, which is strictly forbidden to do, wipe them and smear them with various means. Calendula will perfectly help them solve this problem.
To cleanse the skin of the face, a lotion is perfect, which is moistened with a cotton pad and wiped 3 times a day. After this, you can apply ointment or oil from calendula flowers to the skin, rubbing in with light massaging movements, then allow to be absorbed. The procedure is carried out 2 times a day, morning and evening.
If you have a similar problem, you can also make masks with calendula tincture. To prepare the mask, take 1 tbsp. l. calendula tincture, about a glass of warm boiled water and 4 tbsp. l. sifted wheat flour. Mix everything thoroughly so that there are no lumps. Apply the mask to facial skin cleansed with lotion for 30-40 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
To strengthen your hair and get rid of dandruff, make this mask before a bath or shower. Mix 20 ml of castor oil with 50 ml of calendula tincture, let the mixture brew a little. Massage the mixture into the roots and apply along the entire length of the hair, wrap with a towel and leave for 20 minutes. Then rinse with warm water. Repeat the procedure 2 times a week for 2 months.
For split ends, rinse your hair every time after washing your hair with a solution: 1 tsp. spoons of alcohol solution of calendula tincture per 1 liter of water.
If you have oily facial skin, prepare cosmetic ice. To do this, make a decoction: 1 tbsp. marigold flowers, pour 1 glass of water, bring to a boil. Cool, strain, pour into molds and place in the freezer. First lubricate the cleansed skin of the face and neck with a nourishing cream, and then rub a piece of ice along the massage lines for 10 minutes. The course is 10 days, repeat every 3 months. This procedure tones and refreshes the skin.
To whiten freckles and age spots, wipe your face with the juice of calendula leaves in the morning and evening.
Calendula has pronounced antibactericidal properties. The plant owes its activity to the substances it contains:
Also, the flowers of the plant contain a large complex of minerals (potassium, calcium, magnesium, in microdoses - zinc, chromium, copper, manganese, serene, silver, gold, lithium, cadmium).
Calendula tincture exhibits the greatest activity against opportunistic bacteria - staphylococci and streptococci. Conditional pathogens - means that these bacteria are present in the normal flora of the intestines, pharynx, and oral cavity.
Their vital activity is controlled by friendly lacto- and bifidobacteria. When the bacterial balance is disturbed, the pathogenic flora multiplies and forms a disease.
What is calendula tincture used for:
The tincture is used internally for the treatment of peptic ulcers, cholecystitis, and also as a choleretic and diuretic.
The instructions for using calendula tincture recommend using the solution for wiping, cauterizing, lotions, rinsing, and placing tampons. In this case, external treatment of wounds uses a ready-made pharmaceutical solution. All other methods involve diluting the alcohol tincture in various proportions.
For inflammation of the tonsils or dental infections, the tincture is strongly diluted with water (for adults - 1 tablespoon in half a glass of boiled water). Purulent plaque on inflamed tonsils is treated with a cotton swab dipped in an alcohol infusion (without diluting with water) several times a day.
How to gargle with calendula tincture:

Calendula tincture for ear pain - helps with systematic treatment. It does not contain analgesic components, but limits the spread of inflammation and disinfects the ear cavity. Therefore, the effect of it can be felt after a few days of treatment.
Calendula tincture for chickenpox - traditionally used to treat blistering rashes. At the stage when the bubbles burst, their treatment prevents the spread of infection to other people and the addition of bacterial infection. This treatment must be carried out at least 1-2 times a day (morning and evening).
In addition, cauterizing wounds with alcohol reduces the severe itching that accompanies chickenpox rashes.
Calendula tincture for vision is used in the treatment of ophthalmic diseases (conjunctivitis, blepharitis - inflammation of the inner or outer eyelid). For eye treatment, the tincture is diluted in water - take only 1 teaspoon per half glass (100 ml) of water. Wash your eyes with this solution after one to two hours. They also make lotions - place a moistened cotton swab over closed eyelids.
Important: do not allow a strong burning sensation, the oven can only lightly.
In addition, carotenoids (provitamins A), which are contained in the orange flower, are beneficial for the eyes. They support the nutrition of eye tissues and prevent a decrease in visual acuity.
Calendula tincture for mouth rinse helps treat inflammation of dental tissues and prevents bad breath. For rinsing, the solution is diluted 1:1. Rinse - for inflammation of the gums (periodontitis), inflammation of the periodontal tissues (gingivitis), stomatitis. Treat stomatitis ulcers with an undiluted alcohol solution (wipe with a cotton swab).
Daily rinsing of the mouth with calendula prevents the formation of dental caries.
However, one must understand that an external rash is a manifestation of an internal disease. If the source of infection is internal inflammation, then curing acne by rubbing alone is difficult and impossible. Treatment of the internal organ is necessary.
The most common source of problematic skin is diseases of the digestive system. By the location of the rash, you can determine which organ is sick. If acne is located on the chin, there are problems with gynecology and intestines. Rashes on the forehead accompany diseases of the stomach and pancreas. A rash along the hairline is formed when there is a weak outflow of bile from the gallbladder. Rashes on the nose accompany an imbalance of hormones, on the bridge of the nose - an overload of the liver with protein products.
To effectively treat rashes, nutritional correction and digestion treatment are necessary.
Calendula tincture for the face is widely used in daily care for oily skin. It can be used to wipe problem areas, rashes, and excessively oily skin. The alcohol tincture dries the skin and reduces the secretion of sebum.
The tincture is used as a cosmetic mask and compresses. Here are the most effective ways to use alcoholic calendula for the face.
Calendula tincture for acne - wipe the skin with an alcohol solution in the morning and evening.
Is it possible to wipe your face with calendula tincture more often?
To make a face mask, take gauze, soak it in diluted tincture, and apply it to the face (except for the eyes). The procedure time is up to 20 minutes. During this time, alcohol dissolves sebum, cleanses and tightens pores. Calendula flower extract - destroys germs.
The second face mask recipe uses an alcohol solution of calendula as one of the ingredients. To prepare the composition, mix flour, aloe juice and alcohol tincture (in equal proportions) and add water. If you take 1 tablespoon of each component, you will need half a glass of water. Mix the ingredients until a homogeneous thick paste is formed. Then apply to clean facial skin and leave for 5-7 minutes. During this time, the mask dries out, so wash it off with running water.
Treating acne requires a systematic approach- daily masks and wipes, as well as therapy for internal diseases (causes of rashes).
Often, at the beginning of treatment with alcoholic calendula, the opposite effect is observed - there are more acne. The question arises, does calendula tincture help with acne? Don't be afraid. Calendula accelerates the maturation of pustules, so their number may increase. After 1-2 weeks, skin processes return to normal.
Alcohol compresses are used to stimulate hair growth. Calendula tincture for hair is diluted with hot water 1:3. Soak a cotton cloth in this solution, wring it out and apply it to the scalp. Wrap it in plastic and put on a warm hat.
Alcohol tincture allows you to get rid of the oily manifestations of seborrhea. If you use calendula tincture for dandruff, rub it into the scalp with a cotton swab. The procedures are repeated every other day for 1 month. The course of treatment is repeated with a break of 3-4 weeks.
The use of calendula tincture internally is indicated in the treatment of peptic ulcers and bile stagnation (congestion in the gallbladder is often initiated by diseases of other digestive organs - the stomach, pancreas, intestines, so timely treatment of stagnation prevents the appearance of a “bouquet” of diseases).
Treatment of bile stagnation is based on the antispasmodic effect of calendula. It relaxes smooth muscles (muscles of internal organs), thereby dilating the bile ducts and resuming the normal flow of bile into the intestines.
When treating ulcers, use 20-30 drops 2 times a day. When treating the liver and stimulating the movement of bile - 15-20 drops 3 times a day.
Treatment with alcohol solutions orally is contraindicated for children and pregnant women. It is safer to treat with an oil extract (tincture of calendula flowers in vegetable oil).
The use of calendula tincture for internal treatment is only permissible for adults who do not have vascular diseases. The presence of alcohol does not allow the use of tinctures in the treatment of children.
In people with diseased blood vessels (atherosclerosis, VSD), prolonged use of small doses of alcohol can worsen the condition, causing blockage of blood vessels or their rupture with subsequent bleeding.
Long-term use of alcohol preparations can be addictive and become a factor in addiction to alcohol. Therefore, you should not abuse internal treatment with alcohol tincture. If long-term treatment is necessary, replace the alcohol extract with an oil extract.
If internal use of an alcohol solution is not indicated for everyone, then external treatment of gynecological and urological inflammation is allowed without restrictions. External treatment of inflammatory areas has no other contraindications other than an allergic reaction (which is extremely rare with calendula).
In gynecology, alcoholic calendula is used for placing tampons and rinsing (douching). To wash the vagina, calendula is diluted more strongly than for gargling (1:10, where 1 part is tincture and 10 parts is boiled water). It is important to understand that the health of hollow organs is determined by their microflora. Therefore, after douching with alcohol components, it is necessary to restore the vaginal microflora with bifid preparations.
Tampons made from a diluted tincture (1:10) are used as part of a complex treatment for cervical erosion.
The base for the tincture is alcohol (40º) or vodka, moonshine (70º). The flowers are placed in a dark glass container and filled with alcohol (vodka, moonshine). It is not necessary to chop the flowers or cut them into small pieces.
The jar is tightly closed with a lid (so that the alcohol component does not erode) and placed in a dark place for 1 week. Dark glass is necessary to protect the contents from sunlight.
After infusion, the finished solution is filtered. Store in a dark place or in a dark glass bottle.
