5. As an Antiseptic
This herb also has antiseptic properties as well as antifungal properties. It can be used as an ointment or as a tea in order to treat fungal infections and help with other types of infections inside and outside the body. However, the best way to use this herbal supplement as an antiseptic is to create an ointment or poultice that you can apply directly to the injured area.
There are actually quite a few creams and over-the-counter medications that contain calendula already because of its antiseptic and antiviral properties and how much it assists in the wound healing process. You may wish to try them instead of coming up with your own as they already have the right amount of calendula and are easy to apply. They might also have additional nutrients that may be useful.
