Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I've tried it and it works really well. My gyno recommended it to me. It's excellent. I'm allergic to everything but had no problem with the calendula cream. It's great for burns too.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Cindy, my husband had a rash a few months back, so I gave him some Calendula to use. In no time he developed a bad cough...I looked in my Herbal PDR and it said Calendula is in the 'ragweed' family. I felt horrible, he's allergic to ragweed. If you haven't noticed any irritation or problems then chances are that you are fine using it...I'm just throwing this out there as a 'heads up', so to speak. I think sometimes that we forget that homeopathic remedies might cause reactions, too. Hugs, Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Would the calendula cream be to treat burning or itching or what? Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hey Melinda, here is a good link about Calendula. I thought I saw the 'ragweed' connection in my book, but it must have been online...anyway, I hope this helps. I used Calendula a few times in the past on my vulvar skin before I began using Estrace topically. I didn't notice a difference one way or the other. No help, but didn't hurt.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I use calendula creme almost daily. Its a great healer, and is used extensively in homeopathic circles. I used to use it for diaper rashes and prevention with my kids. I was dumb( lol.. but I was!!) and didn't use it till I had been suffering for 6 months. Once I did, at least 25% of the irritation/burning reduced.. and with continual use I have had extended periods of up to almost no pain. (Then I have to go and ruin it all by allowing the gynie to use K-Y jelly.. which causes a major flare). I am having trouble finding a creme that isn't made with the Parabens, and the straight oil doesn't seem to be as effective, for some reason. Calendula combined in an alcohol based solution is also very effective against Herpes outbreaks, according to the literature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm highly allergic to ragweed but have no problem with Calendula so it must be individualized. -- Re: Calendula Hey Melinda, here is a good link about Calendula.
