The medical community is continuously discovering new ways to enhance the body’s ability to recover. Sometimes, looking back to the past is the best way to find healing techniques, and many people turn to ancient herbal remedies to spur tissue growth. One such natural solution is calendula.
What is calendula?
The calendula is a plant that’s native to the Mediterranean region, though it is grown domestically all around the globe. In fact, it has been used for its healing benefits since at least the 1100s, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. The dried leaves of the plant contain the medicinal qualities. This herb contains large amounts of flavonoids, which are antioxidants found naturally in plants and protect the body from harmful free radicals.
How does calendula affect wound healing?
According to the UMM Medical Center, Calendula increases the flow of blood to the wound site, thereby providing the oxygen and nutrients essential to tissue regeneration. Additionally, with its high amount of flavonoids, Calendula can help reduce inflammation and swelling, speeding up the stages of healing. These flavonoids also fight off bacteria, viruses and other harmful foreign invaders, protecting against wound infection.
