Calendula Officinalis

We are offering calendula officinalis. calendula is to lacerated wounds what arnica is to bruises. Both are considered specifics for injuries (as are ledum, bellis perennis and some others). When the skin or an organ is not torn and the external trauma only produces an extravasation of blood, then arnica will be indicated. However, when there is laceration of the skin or of an organ and inflammation sets in, the correct choice is calendula; yet this is not always the case, as the injuries have to have additional calendula characteristics if the remedy is to be effective.
