Organic Calendula Petal Tea – Bulk
$2.80 – $11.20
Description
Traditionally used to ease stomach cramps and constipation. Tea made from Calendula flowers is also reportedly loaded with powerful skin-healing, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, while being gentle enough for use on children and animals.
Calendula petals make a lovely flavourful tea with a complex flavour. Light fresh and very drinkable, Calendula tea has an earthy, slightly bitter base with a hint of spiciness and notes of pepper.
Origin: Egypt.
Ingredients: Certified Organic Calendula
Serving Suggestion: Bring one cup of water to a boil. Add one tablespoon of dried petals to a tea ball or diffuser and steep for 10-12 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey, syrup or natural sweeteners, like stevia if desired. Drink one to three cups a day.
With its soothing anti-inflammatory properties, cold Calendula tea can be used as a mouth rinse or topically on red, itchy or inflamed skin. Use a cloth or spray bottle to apply to skin.
