 Definition: 

Calendula
Probably no herb has as many healing benefits as calendula. Unsurpassed in treating most skin problems, from cuts and scrapes to surgical wounds, from sunburn and insect bites to psoriasis and varicose veins, calendula also works wonders in the digestive, respiratory, urinary, immune, and female reproductive systems. CALENDULA is a volume in the Keats Good Herb Guide series.
