Whenever someone asks me what to use for winter skin problems, my first response is Calendula. Whether it is used as an oil, or an oinment, Calendula (Caledula officinalis) has to be one the best herbal healing skin remedies.Calendula is always in stock in our herbal first aid kit. It is wonderful for use on dry, itchy winter skin, but you can also use it on so many other skin conditions it can be used for too.
Calendula is a natural herbal anti-inflammatory and helps heal and protect wounds. It acts as an anti-oxidant, and helps protect skin from free radical damage to skin cells.
Calendula is anti-fungal, anti-septic, and antibacterial.
It is always our first choice for winter itch...it should be yours!
