Calendula (pot marigold)
Calendula officinalis
The premier remedy for all skin injuries: open cuts, jagged tears, and slow-healing scrapes. Soothes raw, irritated tissue, encourages clean wound healing, and helps skin knit together after cuts and abrasions.
Key indications
- Cuts, lacerations, or torn skin with raw, grazed edges
- Scrapes and abrasions that are slow to heal
- Wounds that look angry, red, or ooze a thin discharge
- Pain in the wound that seems out of proportion to its size
- Skin injuries that feel worse in cold, damp air
Cold, damp, touch, weather changes
Warmth, gentle movement, rest
30C every 2–4 hours for fresh cuts and scrapes; 200C once daily for slow-healing or irritated wounds. Consider homeopathic Calendula cream or tincture for topical support on minor wounds.

General guidance only. 200ck may be substituted for 200C potencies. Stop the remedy upon significant improvement. If no improvement after 2-3 doses in acute cases or after 4-6 weeks in chronic cases, try a different remedy. Consult a experienced practitioner if you feel you need additional help for serious or persistent symptoms.
