Benefits of Calendula in Liquid Gold

Calendula is a cherished herb for radiant, healthy skin. Its gentle yet powerful properties help soothe inflammation, calm irritation, and support the skin’s natural healing process. Infused into Herbal Native Co.’s Liquid Gold, calendula works to reduce dryness, balance sensitive skin, and restore a natural glow.

Indigenous History & Wisdom

Among Native American tribes such as the Navajo and Cherokee, calendula and other related marigold species were valued for their wound-healing and protective properties. Petals were applied as poultices to calm skin irritation, reduce inflammation, and speed recovery from cuts and burns. Ceremonially, flowers carried symbolism of protection, renewal, and the sun’s life-giving energy — reminding us of the deep relationship between plant medicine and spiritual well-being.
