This is general information about a homeopathic remedy, not a prescription or dosing advice. In homeopathy the correct remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual symptom picture by a qualified homeopath — the same remedy is not right for everyone. Do not self-medicate, and consult a qualified homeopathic doctor (and your physician for serious or persistent conditions) before taking any remedy.

The characteristic picture & modalities
Calendula Officinalis, from marigold, is homeopathy's great wound-healing picture, used for cuts, grazes and open or torn wounds that are raw and sore, to support clean healing. Excessive soreness out of proportion to the wound is characteristic, along with a tendency for wounds to heal slowly or become infected. It is used both internally in potency and externally as a soothing application, and is said to promote healthy granulation of tissue. This describes a recognisable use rather than a diagnosis, and suits some situations more than others.
Before you take Calendula Officinalis
Calendula's appropriate use and potency are matched to the situation and the whole person by a qualified homeopath, including whether an internal potency or external application is suitable. This page is background information, not a prescription, and it does not invite you to self-select a potency. Deep, dirty, large or non-healing wounds, signs of infection, or any wound needing stitches or a tetanus update require prompt medical care. Please consult a registered practitioner before taking anything, and follow your treating doctor's advice for any significant injury.
