Calendula officinalis

Calendula officinalis is a well-known homeopathic (and herbal) remedy derived from the common marigold flower. It is also known as simply "Calendula". This plant is so important in natural medicine that it is processed in different ways in order to treat the patient via different modalities. For example, it is also used to produce the (massage) carrier oil Calendula Oil.

Cantharis vesicatoria is sometimes used in combination with Hypericum perforatum to prepae a cream called "Hypercal" that is sometimes used to treat custs, sores, and open wounds. The action of the cantharis vesicatoria in this preparation is to act as a natural antiseptic and so keep the area free of infection.
Other uses of cantharis vesicatoria may include the treatment of abscesses, burns, perineal tears during birth or episiotomy, and to facilitate general healing of body tissues.
