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.
