Here is an except from a page from "The Herbal Corner":

Calendula relieves pain and is known for its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic properties. The herb was traditionally used to treat spasms, fever, suppressed menstruation, varicose veins, and other health conditions. Today, herbalists consider Calendula one of the most effective herbal remedies for skin problems, such as wounds, rashes, chapped hands, bedsores, and infections. It is an exceptional skin conditioner. The herb has also been proven useful against inflammation of the mouth and throat; wounds; leg ulcers; dry, chapped skin; skin rashes; and athlete's foot and other forms of fungus. Calendula is an astringent which helps damaged blood vessels to seal, stopping bleeding and preventing bruising, and may also be effective on varicose veins and hemorrhoids.

We use an ample amount of Calendula in hopes that it will help soothe skin. With our formula including olive oil and shea butter it is sure to be a creamy delight. It is scented with an intoxicating blend of four essential oils. No coloring has been added. We hope you enjoy this exceptional handcrafted all natural soap -- made entirely from scratch using all natural vegetable oils and essential oils.
