Discovering the Healing Power of Calendula: A Journey to Help My Daughter and Myself
Recently, my daughter developed a dry patch on her leg that would itch constantly. To ease her discomfort, I took her to the doctor, and he prescribed a steroid cream. As much as I wanted to help her, I wasn’t thrilled about using steroids, so I began searching for natural remedies.
That’s when I discovered calendula. I bought some and began making an infusion. I let it sit for eight weeks to ensure it was properly infused. But during this process, something unexpected happened.
I was using my heat gun one day and accidentally burned my hand. I remembered from a course I’d taken that calendula is great for minor burns, so I decided to test it on myself. To my surprise, it worked wonders. I applied the calendula-infused oil to my burn, and within minutes, the pain completely disappeared. I went on with my day, but later, the pain returned. So, I reapplied the oil, and again, the burning sensation faded.
By the end of the week, I was amazed. Not only did the burn heal without leaving any blisters, but there was no scar either—which was unusual for me, as I tend to scar easily. I was so excited that I quickly gathered the ingredients to make a salve.
Since it worked so well for me, I decided to try it on my daughter for her eczema. The results were incredible! She loved the salve so much that she would ask for it whenever she felt itchy. Then, we tried it on mosquito bites, and my kids became huge fans of the salve.
It didn’t stop there—my mom, who had struggled with a dry patch for years, tried the calendula salve and was thrilled with the results. She, too, became a part of the growing group of salve lovers!
As I continued making the salve, I shared it with family and friends, and seeing the same positive results in them was truly heartwarming. It has been such a blessing to help so many people with a simple, natural remedy. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share this gift, and I praise God for His grace and mercy in guiding me on this journey.
I am thankful to be able to help my loved ones—and to see them thriving with the healing power of nature.
