Calendula Flowers – Natural Support for Skin, Digestion & Healing
 
With their radiant orange petals, Calendula Flowers (Calendula officinalis) are more than just beautiful – they are among nature’s most powerful healing herbs.
Calendula has been used for centuries to soothe inflammation, support tissue repair, and promote overall balance in the body.
In horses, Calendula provides gentle yet effective support for skin health, wound healing, digestive comfort, and detoxification – making it one of the most versatile herbs in natural equine care.
 
Internal Benefits – Healing from Within
When fed regularly, Calendula supports the body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate.
It promotes cell renewal, protects mucous membranes, and supports the gastrointestinal tract – particularly in horses with sensitive digestion or gastric discomfort.
Supports gut lining & digestion – helps protect and restore the stomach and intestinal wall, reducing irritation and promoting healthy digestion.
Aids detox & lymphatic flow – encourages gentle drainage of toxins and waste through the lymphatic system, especially when combined with Nettle and Clivers.
Acts as a natural anti-inflammatory – supports overall comfort and recovery after physical strain, skin irritation, or internal inflammation.

Its antiseptic and antifungal properties help protect against infection, while its natural compounds promote new tissue growth and accelerate healing.
Speeds up wound healing – supports regeneration of skin and connective tissue.
Soothes irritation & itching – ideal for minor rashes, insect bites, or rubbed areas under tack.
Protects against infection – its antiseptic and antifungal compounds create a natural defence for damaged skin.
