drying calendula

i had gotten some calendula (Calendula officinalis) plants a month or so ago and i am just starting to harvest the flowers. i spread them out and let them air dry. once they are all dry - i will infuse them in either grapeseed, jojoba or sweet almond oil and then let it sit for six weeks. strain the flowers out and use this amazing skin softening and tissue regenerating oil when ever and where ever.

the fda has many biases in determining the effectiveness of herbs. although the fda fails to reach opinions on the safety of many herbs based on what they consider to be a lack of verifiable scientific studies, the truth is that many accredited studies on herbs do exist. check with an herbalist - think about what you put in your body and any potential interactions and side affects. do the research before making decisions which affect your health and well being. you are the most important part of insuring your health.
