[Enroll Now] Sample Text"Calendula This oil is recommended for mixed and oily skins. It is a maceration oil, made by soaking the flowers of Calendula officinalis in sunflower oil for three weeks and then carefully filtering the mixture, which has extraordinary healing properties. Gently cooling and slightly drying, it is used mainly for the healing of scars. Rich in carotene, saponins, and bitter principles, this oil is an excellent anti-inflammatory, fungicidal, and antibacterial agent-a must for any chronically damaged skin. Combines well with: equal quantities of hazelnut hypericum oil. For eczema, try a mix of equal parts of calendula, arnica, and hypericum oil. If the skin is very inflamed, applications of, alternately, calendula oil and aloe vera gel give excellent results."
