Calendula officinalis belongs to the same family as those other great vulneraries: Arnica and Bellis perennis. The kinds of wounds indicating its use are lacerated wounds and suppurative wounds.

Calendula is the homeopathic anti-septic, it restores the vitality of an injured part, making it impregnable against the forces of putrefaction. Unlike Arnica it has no irritating property capable of producing erysipelas. It is therefore suitable to all cases of injury where the skin is broken.

The application of a sponge saturated with a hot solution of Calendula after delivery gives the greatest comfort to the patient. Hot Calendula lotions are generally preferable to cold, as they conserve the vitality of the injured parts.

In Germany it is regarded as a "cancer cure."
Cancer, as an intercurrent remedy.(Boericke)
