Thanks for watching - have a great week ! xx
THANK YOU! You have given the most detailed description of Calendula's uses and benefits I've ever heard. I think the flowers look like mini suns brightening up my garden.
They are incredibly bright and cheerful xx
Calendula is a beautiful flower, and very medicinal. I've made a face salve for acne for a friend with Jojoba oil and beeswax. I have enjoyed it as a tea. Have a wonderful week Terri and Lol. See you next week! Blessings from Ontario Canada.
Blessings to you too Karen xx
Thank you for the lovely video. I love my calendula. This was my first year growing them, and they turned out fabulous. I've made an oil with the flowers and it went directly onto my new granddaughters bottom. It cleared her little rash in no time. I also enjoy a calendula tea with cinnamon and cloves along with some orange peel. I have saved many seeds and look forward to expanding my calendula garden.
Much love for
July of Canada
And it works so quickly.. A gentle plant but so powerful xx
Beautiful, beautiful, and so healthy, too. I've come such a long way on my herb loving path since completing Terri and Lol's basic herb class. It provided me with all the 'how to' and opened so many wonderful doors of exploration as well as such a deep respect for the power of herbs in my life and those I share with. I love being in the garden in Ireland with these videos! It is truly a sacred place, and it always makes my heart happy!
You are so kind Carolyn you are so lovely to say this and I'm very glad your heart is happy xx
I had never heard that looking at them helps eyesight but this year I found myself fascinated by the luminosity of the blooms. So not one bit surprised at this! ❤
Funnily enough, I just came across another herbalist recommending Calendula in an eye bath for tired eyes!! Xx
haha, maybe they help our eyes looking at them cause they're orange....you know, like carrots with vit A are good for our eyes....(kidding...)
You are such an inspiration, because of you I have been busy this year growing and making all sorts of lovely natural goodies. Thank you so much for the beautiful videos. I look forward to them at the end of every Sunday. 😊
Delighted to hear that, brilliant! Well done xx
Calendula is one of my favorites. So very beautiful ❤
Mine too! And so healing too xx
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom about Calendula. For older people, when they have arthritis, it will help also. After hard working in my garden, I mostly drink a cup of tea, with Calendula. With love from Netherlands.
Thanks for sharing!! Xx
Thanks for sharing these benefits of the Calendula petals, I was unaware of the Lymph and the mucus membrane benefits, much appreciated. All the best.
You are welcome Deana, it's good to know these things as Calendula is so powerful xc
Thank you for sharing ancient knowledge.
I love watching your videos.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching xc
Calendula is one of my favorites! I infuse the flowers in organic sunflower oil (olive oil can go rancid) for about 6 weeks, strain and refrigerate. As needed, I add it to salves, lip balms, and use it straight up on my skin right out of the shower. It really helps hydrate eczema also❣️ I just love your videos, Terry❣️ You are so knowledgeable, genuine and wise❣️🌱🌿
Do you pull the petals from the green part before infusing them or dry the whole flower? Thanks🤗🇨🇦
We are blessed to have such amazing plants xx enjoy x
I'm amazed at the wisdom and knowledge you have in the medicinal purpose and usage of plants and herbs. I love and appreciate what you do.
Wow, thank you! Just hope it's helpful to you xx
Wij maken ook Calendula tinctuur en de olie. Ook zetten we er thee mee. Paarden die hoesten geven we ook Calendula thee. Vooral in de winter als ze veel in de stal zijn. Dankjewel voor de mooie informatie over deze prachtige bloem.
You are very welcome xx
I am from Alabama in US. I make a salve with Calendula and Comfrey . They are wonderful plants with lot of uses.Thank you for for all you do.
Wonderful! Glad to hear you are working with the plants xx
Greetings from Michigan! My Calendula did very well this year. I just made a tincture and will be harvesting more today. The Calendula flowers are beautiful 😍. Thank you Terry with love and gratitude.💚🕊️💚
Love and gratitude to you too xx
Sunday mornings with you are like a get away! My calendula has been lovely this year! Already looking forward to next year and it’s bright flowers!
I know the feeling! Still a few flowers here yet, will miss them when they finish xx
Thank you for talking about that beautiful happy little flower. I as usual learned even more from you. Have a blessed week ahead.
Thank you! You too! Xx
Great video and I'm lucky enough to have Calendula growing in my garden. Will add to my salad today. Thank you Terri 🌹❤️🌹
Wonderful! Thank you, for watchingxx
Your videos are so soothing and relaxing, your whole presence is soothing and transports me to a fairyland, that's the effect they have on me. I love calendula, I love looking at it as it grows and blooms, but I never knew it helped my eyesight, apparently I was doing it without knowing it. I use the oil I make a lot but I didn't know I could eat the petals and I also didn't know the oil I mix into my cats and dogs food which they love so much could be so beneficial, I always learn something new from you. I am very grateful for your work and videos! Hello visitors, and have a nice Sunday and week ahead, everyone! ♥️
Thank you! Hope you are having a lovely week too xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden ♥️
Thanks for another soothing Sunday morning. ❤️
Happy Sunday /Wednesday 😂 xx
Love,love,love calendula. As a lady of a certain age, the oil is a great addition to your skin care routine. Helps to nourish the skin on your face and neck and keep wrinkles at bay. Have a great week Terri x
Thanks for sharing!! Great for gardeners hands lije mine 😂
Morning.. Feeling like a traditional meal today. Baked ham, butternut squash and dressing. I miss sharing meals with my mom
We light a candle at meal times, then our loved ones can join us xc
I'm so glad that you shared this video, because a short time ago, you shared a video on making homemade sunscreen, which included Calendula oil, & I found that for me, the lotion/body butter actually was a very potent pain reliever!! So this beautiful Calendula flower is probably what's helping me so much with my sciatica & Morton's Neuroma pain😊❤ Woww Thank you so much 😁😁
Glad it was helpful! The power of plants xx
Love the calendula 💚 I have infused some in coconut oil on the stove and then whipped it up to make a body butter
Sounds great! Must try that xx
I love this video, I collect rose petals, calendula, mint and lavender petals to make a lovely coop "freshener" for my chickens. It smells just wonderful and sweetens the coop completely. Calendula is one of my favorite flowers, and thank you for your teaching about it!
Great idea, thanks for the tip xx
Calendula is one of my favorite Herbs to work with
Mine too, what is not to like? 😊
Lovely Terri, just picked my last Calendulas today. We´ve had some nights with minus degrees (C) already, so I was so happy to still find some beautiful flowers. Greetings from Finland!
Greetings to you in Finland xx
🧡💛
Calendula, I use it in a crème, I have rheumatoid eczema A.P, it helps to softening the skin , with the help of cortisone because otherwise it is a losing battle , but it works, next year I plant them , they are hard to get the plants 🪴 so I buy the seeds 😊 loved the film and thank u for your knowledge ❤have a great week ❤️🙏🏻❤️
❤🙏🏻❤️
Hope you have a happy week too xx
❤ from SE Texas ❤
I've never been a fan of this particular flower. Then, I found out how medicinal they were. So now, I welcome them into my fall garden. Generally, they can survive, (and bloom!) all winter, here!
Your garden and your family are so beautiful!
Have a blessed day!
Hope your day is blessed too xx
The Best way, besides prayer, to start my Sunday morning! Very helpful & important information!.❤
Thanks so much Lisa. Prayer important too at this time in our history xx
Oh what a beautiful house by the sea
We love it! 😊
We pass it every time we go to town. Beautiful.
Calendula is rolled up into a beautiful miracle flower from our maker, mother nature. And a woman always knows best don’t you think? You can’t fool, mother, nature! And you can’t fool your mother either.❤️
Love that! I don't think Mother Nature is ever fooled 😂 xx
Great timing, I was recommending calendula to my sister yesterday! I have shared this with her.
Thanks for sharing!! Hope she finds it helpful xx
Thanks so much for promoting the wonderful gifts of calendula 🌼 !! We really enjoyed your podcast on Substack. We were making Hawthorn jelly and your beautiful conversation was perfect ❣️🌟❣️
Thrilled you enjoyed it. My lovely friend Noirin is an amazing woman.. Your Hawthorn jelly looked delicious xx
Thank you for a lovely video. I've been growing and harvesting calendula for years and I make a lovely salve for my son's poor dry and cracked manual labour hands! It helps them immensely and also soothes his eczema flare ups. x
Wonderful! He's lucky that his mam makes this for him xx
❤ My calendula never flowered this summer, but grew lush and green in containers. Maybe my seeds were too old, but I’m collecting summer flower seeds to make space in the 2025 garden for many new flowering herbs. 😊
It might be your soil in the pots is missing potassium and phosphorus. It is Pot Marigold so can grow well in pots providing there are enough nutrients xx
❤ I really enjoy your sharing of your knowledge and your wisdom!! thank you !
You are so welcome xx
Your herbology is outstanding! I know my health has improved from some very basic infusions I have incorporated from your suggestions. 😀❤
Wonderful, so glad to hear that, but thank the plants as they did the work xx
I’ve been growing calendula and use it for salves and lip balm. I will do a tincture next. Nasturtiums are fantastic as well. Thank you for sharing your experience as it is lovely and inspiring. Much love.
Calendula is great for lip balms - enjoy xx
thanks for reminding me to go collect seed! I love calendula. So bright and cheerful.
We still haven't had a frost yet - so much is still blooming and looking amazing against the backdrop of the autumn color. Our maples are at peak color now. I am enjoying the purple asters and yellow and orange calendula and goldenrod popping under the red maples and yellow beech and birch. So bright! Many blessings.
You paint a beautiful picture. I love the Asters next to the Calendula xx
Thank you! Mine are blooming now here in the mountains of W. North Carolina.
They are having a long run here this year xx
Thank you so much for this! Calendula has always been one of my favourite plant allies! :)
Mine too! Xx
Love calendula it thickens my coconut oil as I steep calendula into it. I add in frankincense I steeped too
That must be divine!!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden still a newbie! But finding herbs extremely rewarding and makes me more mindful, and you helped a lot! Today I'm trying ground frankincense, along with calendula and steeping together and make a nice oil from nature ❤️🌷🌼 thanks always Terri
I’ve just come across your channel and so happy I have. I grow calendula everywhere and make the infusions and tinctures.
Lovely to see your home and garden 😊
Welcome! I hop you enjoy this channel and blessings on your medicine xx
Thankyou, I have a new appreciation of these beautiful plants, I use my flowers as tea too. Now I can do so much more . Love the orange and yellow flowers through out my garden . I share seeds with child care services I work at to grow with children as I know these are a safe plant for little ones.
Wonderful! The children will love them xx
I was literally talking about calendula with a friend just before I noticed your video 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ I love Calendula. Very drawn to it this year. Thanks for your wonderful video.
So cool! Hope all good with you. Xx
Hello Finton!!! Yes I do indeed have Calendula in a pot. Thanks for the information and the colour just amazing. Treat for the eyes and soul. Garden looks amazing. This is a wonderful and Magical time of the year. Fabulous for walks in among the Trees crunch, crunch.

It is one of my favourite times of year too xx
Very nice ❤❤❤❤Thank you ❤❤❤❤Subscribed ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks and welcome. I hope you enjoy the channel xx
Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate you. I moved this year, but before I moved I had grown some calendula for the first time. I absolutely fell in love with this flower. Each one was so unique and gorgeous. I knew it was good for digestion. I was lucky enough to dry some before I moved. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge about this little flower. It does make me happy just looking at it, but I am looking forward to working with it in the future. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you! 💯💚💜💚✌️💜👽
So glad you found this helpful. I agree, Calendula really enhances the mood, whatever the weather xx
I love your garden walks and tutorials! Mahalo for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Beautiful flowers🌸🌺🌻🌹🌷🌼💐
Well I'm going to pick the last of my calendula today! I put some seeds in our veggie garden ( our first year organic garden since moving here in 22) to bring in the beneficial insects to the garden and ward of the nasty ones. I was wondering how to do them up! Wonderful. Thank you ever so much. Many Blessings to you. 🙏💞🙏
Blessings to you too and good luck with your garden xx
I also really love calendula and make a salve with it but hadn't realised it helped the lymphatic system. Many thanks and blessings xx
To you too, lots to enjoy about Calendula xx
Have wonderful day ❤
You too!! Xx
Beautiful flower and beautiful medicine! Thank you and blessings! 🙏❤️
They are indeed xx
Love the Calendula, Blessing
Wonderful! I love and grow a lot of calendula. I use calendula as well, harvesting and drying those colourful, sticky blossoms for medicine. According to 'Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine', Calendula officinalis gifts us with so many actions: immune stimulant, anti-protazoal, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-spasmodic, anti-haemorrhage, anti-histamine, anti-bacterial effect particularly against staphylococcus and streptococcus, anti-emetic, anti-cancer, antiseptic, styptic, haemostatic, diaphoretic, anthelmintic, oestrogenic activity (extract from fresh flowers), menstrual regulator. What an beautiful, amazing, cheerful, wondrous herb! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Enjoy your autumn. Cheers!
You too.. Hope rain has stopped xx
Thank you Terri and Lol for another great video! 😍I love calendula. Harvested and dried it over the summer, as using it in tea and making salve. I’ve made a salve of calendula and camomile. Very soothing. Used it even on my goats udders. It’s brilliant. Using calendula salve for everything, any cuts, bumps, rashes, I think it’s magical. High healing properties. Also, I use the dried petals mixed with other dried herbs in cooking, my own dried vegetable stock. Overall, I think Calendula is wonderful. Thank you Terri for sharing your knowledge about the numerous health benefits of this beautiful plant.
I think every garden should have Calendula for all those reasons you have shared. xx
GM Terri, I love calendula! I have some growing on my porch and going to harvest before it gets cold. I make oil and salve as you do, and eat the fresh flowers and dry for tea. Thank you xx Cynthia 🌿🌙💚
I love the fact that we are all making wonderful salves and lotions xx
Spring here in Melbourne and my Calendula seedlings are ready for planting.. wonderful video thankyou
Hello from just across the Bass Strait in Cooee, Burnie 🖐️where calendulas are blooming beautifully in my little rambling patch.
Oh lucky you, mine are still holding on, a few of them but hoping for many more next year xx
Hello Terri I added calendula & carrot seed oil to my skin creme after watching your video a few months back. It's been a wonderful addition for my nightly hands & feet routine, too I love the colour that both oils add! I've been busy in the garden, so I will have a go at growing calendula & blue lotus too. Much Love & Many Blessings❤🌻🐝🌹👌
The colour is gorgeous, so rich xx
Wow wow beautiful day ❤
Yes it was and it has been pleasant all week xx
Thanks Terri, I love calendula. I made an oil and it’s been working well for a skin/female issue I’ve been having. Glad to know it’s a lymph cleanser as well. Thinking it might be beneficial to make a tea!
Most definitely and thst can be drank or used topically as a wash xc
6.30am and watching ❤
You are up early! Trying to do same xx
I was prescribed calendula oil once for a fungal infection and it cleared the infection in just two days, I was stunned. The smell is lovely too
Calendula should not be under estimated because it is so pretty 😊 a very powerful remedy xx
Thank you Terri for this video on calendula. I have been growing her for several years now on my suburban property, zone 5, Ontario, Canada, and she has self seeded every year beautifully. I so love these pretty flowers. I have not found the time to harvest her for medicinal use, but will try to do so especially now, after your timely video in sharing how to do so. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of all the healing properties she has to offer! Especially loved you mentioning how just looking at the flower, brings joy, and can help with eyesight!? That resonated with me, as I have often looked into the flowers and felt such awe of their beauty…yet did so subconsciously if that makes sense? Will now do so with even more intent and appreciation after watching this video from you. Thank you again, for sharing your knowledge 😊❤️🙏
Yes, it makes sense. We just have to remember what we know deep down. After mentioning that - about eyesight - I came across a more up to date article stating that Calendula infusion makes an excellent eye wash xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank you Terri for your time in responding. I will look for the article you mentioned for calendula use for eye wash❤️
Love ur sunday shows,ty for ur knowledge of herbs,ive learned alot from you,as my journey continues. Wealth of health in all herbs. Great video!
There certainly is xx
I make a great antiseptic with equal parts of Symphytum and calendula infused in alcohol. Wonderful for acne spots and injuries to the skin.
Thank you for your time and consideration 😊
Very happy to share, thank you xx
I make a great antiseptic with equal parts of Symphytum and calendula infused in alcohol.
Love Calendula! It's my base oil for all my skin applications, including lip balms! I had to resort to dried material last time as my plants struggled. Hopefully, next spring, they will proliferate.
Thanks, Terri, for all your shared knowledge and wisdom❤🌻
Btw, I use Goldenrod infused oil as a base for arthritis pain relief 🌞
I hope they do, save some seed to sow as well as sprinkling xx
Thanks a lot Terri and Lol 😊 I used to have calendula in pots but they died in few months, I think is better to plant them in the soil 💖🌿🌱have a wonderful week you to
Sorry to hear that yours died so suddenly. Hope you managed to get some seeds xx
This is such a great resource for information about calendula! Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful! Xx
Watching this video was just good for my soul. x
Glad you enjoyed it, delighted to hear that xx

Good afternoon 😊
Good night, just heading to bed 😂😴
Love your videos, you’re so beautiful and knowledgeable! Thanks for all your work!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching xx
Thank you! Very inspiring! I will grow it in my garden next year.
We (including our cat) have been using homeopathic Calendula for many years.
I use homeopathy too, that's one of the reasons I took up herbalism xx
I thank you for showing fun things to use. I found this long ago for my eczema and will make mine from now on. Vs pricey in store creams ointments etc. I love these types of videos kitchen concoctions from our gardens. Homeopathy at its best. I use chamomile in my shampoo rinse as I’m fair for dark haired friends I use rosemary for hair to shine. Many thanks for you vikki from new york
It's great isn't it, that there is something for everyone xx
Thank you! You make nteresting themes so sweet and easy to understand.
That's great to hear, that's what I hope for xx
Thanks for this Terri. I am dealing with sore throat due to a medication I'm taking so will try Calendula added to my tea! Plus the seed shapes always felt to me like Dr. Seuss seeds in their completely unique and fantastical shapes!
Hope your throat gets better soon. Try gargling with Sage tea too. Xx
Thank you for sharing the benefits of calendula. I will plant some again.
Once you have Calendula , you will always have Calendula xx
Thank you! 🫶
Last year I missed out on calendula, so this year I gave them their own bed and I’ve been harvesting a lot! I always use them in my salves, but yeah, last year I missed out on them.
My oil is almost ready now and indeed, I made a tincture out of them for the first time this year.
What would be your experience with teasels?
I love Teasels xx
I am making a good tea from calendula cleacer heal all and medowsweet sooo good for urinery health ❤
🧡 Thank you Terri. Very helpful! 💗
I hope so, xx
I watched your video tonight as I'm processing more calendula. 🧡This season has been my year of calendula in abundance...I've collected literally gallons of it.
***The only thing I'd add is DON'T NEGLECT THE STEMS--there's medicine in the stems as well!*** @Danu's Irish Herb Garden--your thoughts?
Personal story. This summer, while making salsa, I made the mistake of barehandely chopped up a lot (and I mean A LOT) of onions, garlic, and jalepenos. Afterwards, I processed and deseeded (again bare handed--no gloves) dozens and dozens of tomatoes. Well, the result was that I basically gave myself a very painful chemical burn from that whole concoction of veggies. It burned under my fingernails and all over my hands--for a couple of hours. Cold didn't help. Heat and the sun made my hands hurt worse.
Against my better judgement, I went out to the hot greenhouse to harvest calendula. When harvesting that flower, I don't just pick off the flower heads, I also pick about 4-6 inches of tender stems as well. Whenever I'm done picking, my hands are always super sticky with whatever compound is in the stems/flowers. Anyway, that day I picked 100+ flowers/stems, and I kid you not, within 5 or so minutes of picking, my pain had lessened by 75%. About 20 minutes later, the pain was completely gone! CALENDULA IS GOLD!
I've been taught that the medicine is in the petals but I'm always open to what people say is their experience. I had a boiling kettle fall on my foot and was severely burned. Calendula salve saved my foot, I can't even remember which foot it was!!! Definitely worth it's weight in gold xx
I picked loads of daisies back in the spring, dried and drank it as a tea for cold and cough….
Excellent remedy, very suitable for children xx
dear Terri.........I have mixed calendula ointment with St.Johns wort oil........the best ointment ever.....................Blessings and greetings from YOYO Daggy....................by the way......I have the plan to visit roundstone and clifden perhaps next year.............☘☘☘
Sounds like a brilliant combo. Oh, that would be lovely if you can make it xx
I made Calendula Oil last year and it was exquisite. Thankyou for your information.
Delighted you liked it xx
Fantastic! I’m so thrilled it’s also good for hormones. I’m going to look for a tea.
You might have to go to a specialist herbal shop or grow your own. xx
I love using frankincense in many forms, I even chew on it sometimes. Been great for mood and skin
I have some infusing - wonderful for the skin xx
I love calendula ❤
Yay!! 👍👏💪
calendula is safe for pets. It helps my itchy cat stop pulling his fur out. I use an infusion.
Fantastic - great idea! Will help with roundworm too xx
Thank you Terri.
You are so welcome xx
