In folk medicine, calendula is valued for its wound-healing and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as its antiseptic and pain-relieving properties.
Calendula extract is rich in biologically active substances, particularly flavonoids (kaempferol, quercetin and isorhamnetin) with pronounced antioxidant properties. It also contains carotenoids such as lycopene and beta-carotene, which have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects. Calendula is rich in essential oils containing terpene compounds that help reduce inflammation and support the healing of damaged tissues.
The antioxidant properties of calendula help combat free-radical damage to cells and slow ageing processes. Calendula is also known for its beneficial effects on mucous membranes, making it useful for respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases, including gastritis and ulcers.
Calendula extract also contains organic acids such as malic and citric acids, vitamins (C, A, E, K, B1, B2 and B3), macroelements (potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulphur and phosphorus), trace elements (iron, manganese, copper, selenium and zinc), and polysaccharides that benefit the immune system. This combination makes calendula extract highly effective in treating inflammation, infections and skin diseases.
Thus, calendula extract is a versatile natural preparation for use in medicine, herbal therapy and cosmetology.
