Magical marigolds, magnificent marigolds! The petals of the marigold flower can be sprinkled or steeped in tea to drink or compress, or extracted into an oil to optimize its pure plant powers. The name "marigold" comes from the phrase "Mary's Gold," because the flowers were thought beautiful enough to belong to the Virgin Mary. Marigold oil has been used throughout the world for centuries by Tudor kings, Civil War soldiers, and 14th century herbalists for body and skincare. Born and blossomed in the Mediterranean, the ancient gods and goddesses of India wore crowns of marigolds, and in Medieval Europe, women dreamed of who they would marry by mixing potions steeped in the flower's golden petals.

The delightfully pungent scent of Calendula Essential Oil merely hints at the many natural properties contained within a single bottle.

"Here's flowers for you: Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram, the marigold, that goes to bed wi’the sun, and with him rises, weeping."
~ William Shakespeare
