Calendula Tea - For Treating Skin Irritations.

Calendula Tea for treating acne, eczema, inflammations or infections in the mouth, lacerations, cuts, burns, wounds, ulcers, boils and so much more. Please also see Calendula Salve - DIY All Natural Healing Cream for more ways to treat skin irritations.

To Make Calendula Tea:

• 2 tsp Dried Calendula Flowers


• 1 cup water

You can either use a tea ball and allow the flowers to steep in a pot of boiling water, or you can strain the flowers out if you boil the mixture all together.

I find it easiest to boil the kettle and then pour water onto the Calendula Flowers. Let the mixture steep for 10 minutes.

Saturate a towel in the tea and use as a compress to treat skin irritations, or use it (cooled but warm) to gargle for mouth infections or inflammations.

For Acne or Eczema: Use tea warm, soak a face towel in tea, wring it out and let sit on irritated skin for 10 minutes, twice a week. You can follow up with Calendula Salve or our Acne Cream.

For wounds, cuts, boils, infections, sunburn, burns, ulcers etc: Apply a warm compress with the tea. Soak a face or hand towel in warm tea mixture and apply to skin. You can follow up (after patted dry) with Calendula Healing Salve.

For infections or inflammations in the mouth or throat: Rinse mouth or gargle with warm Calendula Tea several times a day. You can follow up with Clove tooth pain relief for further healing of mouth irritations.

Calendula Salve - DIY All Natural Healing Cream.

Calendula is such an amazing natural healer. This salve can be used for treating wounds, deep cuts, eczema, acne, bites and stings, damaged skin, burns, frostbite, slow healing or infected wounds, bedsores, boils, wrinkles, sensitive skin, baby bum rashes and SO much more.

Calendula is known for it's anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and regrowth of new skin tissue abilities.

This Calendula salve (which is much more of an ointment) can be used on it's own, massaged into skin issues, or along with a wrap, or bandage. (See here for Calendula Tea)

What You'll Need:

• 1 part Calendula Infused Oil (Infusing Your Own Oils) (Where to purchase Calendula Flowers) (Where to purchase Calendula Oil)


• 1 part Coconut Oil

• Airtight Jar or Tin


• Melting Pot


• Stir Stick (chopsticks work well)

I didn't add beeswax to this batch as I am keeping it in the fridge so it will stay solid without a hardening wax but you can add 1 tsp of Beeswax or Carnauba wax if you like the mixture to be a little more firm.

• Melt Coconut Oil and combine it with equal parts of  Calendula infused oil. (I used 2 tbs of each)


• Mix well and poor into your storage container.


• Pop into the fridge to allow it to solidify. (It will melt out of the fridge if you didn't add beeswax.) This mixture is nice and soft and melts well on the skin.

Apply ointment several times a day to the affected area.

It's best to keep your salve in the fridge in an airtight container. Not only will it keep longer, the cool temperature will be extra soothing.

If you didn't add in any beeswax or essential oils, this recipe makes for an amazing Oil Pulling Method. I also use this for an all over face neck and chest moisturizer, it's been resurfacing some of my scarring and evening out the imperfections. You can also check out our post on Calendula Tea for further healing of wounds, acne and more.
