The archetypal image is that of mother and child, for we all seek the soothing, maternal comfort that allows us to feel secure and deeply nourished. The Calendula flower was also known as Mary’s Gold because its golden blossoms bestow a mothering and calming touch, highly beneficial for all forms of irritation and inflammation. Calendula flowers have been used for various forms of skin restoration, with notable anti-inflammatory, vulnerary and disinfectant properties. Calendula Caress is ideal for the delicate skin of infants and children, and as a beneficent balm for birthing and nursing mothers. Calendula Caress instills a gentle mothering disposition of soul, showing us the path by which we can heal others with our own word and touch.

This has been my favorite thing to put on my skin after shaving. It also is the only thing that is currently helping keep my eczema on my arms at bay. It was perfect all summer after swimming and being in the sun. I could go on...love this oil.

Tastes great and seems to be helping with energy. I appreciate that this product comes in a glass bottle. That is hard to find with other brands. Customers service at Farmacopia is top notch. I highly recommend.
I use Got Sick at the first sign of a cold. It works! I always have it handy together with Not Sick. Both help keep me healthy especially during cold and flu season.
