Calendula Officinalis

Calendula lotion is used locally for the treatment of skin sores, but it
has also been found very useful in the healing of wounds when taken
internally in homoeopathic form.  Non-healing, indolent ulcers start to
heal with the help of Calendula 200.  Taken internally  it dries up the
chronic ulcers, if its local application has not already benefited.  There
is a basic difference between th e working of Calendula from Hepar
Sulph and Silicea.  Calendula builds up the inner strength of the body
to repair the damage done to the tissues due to wear and tear.  Hepar
Sulph and Silicea fight against the infection.  Calendula is very useful
in the treatment of surgical w ounds that do not heal normally,
provided the radiation treatmen t has not destroyed the cells
surrounding the surgical wound.  Pure  honey is also beneficial as a
local treatment of sore s and ulcers.  In fact , honey has been found to
be more effective than Calendula in many instances.

For the treatment of bed sores  (Decubiti), normally Arnica and
Hypericum are used.  If both of them fail, Calendula in potency 200
will certainly benefit to some extent.  Complete cure is also possible.
Calendula is also useful in stopping  bleeding after the extraction of
teeth.  The symptoms of Calendula intensify in cloudy wet weather.
