Calendula: contains flavonoids, triterpenes, saponins, volatile oil, salicylic acid, a soothing demulcent. Calendula is a powerful vulnerary both externally and internally. It has long been used to soothe and mend cuts, burns, bites, sprains, bruises, rashes, sunburns, and abrasions due to its antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, and vulnerary actions. Calendula also contains salicylic acid so it works as an analgesic to help ease the pain associated with these types of wounds and skin irritations. Calendula also soothes itching. Due to its vulnerary and regenerative properties, calendula is even used on persistent wounds and old scars.

Tulsi or Holy basil: has antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, adaptogenic, immunomodulating, antioxidant, neuroprotective, radioprotective, anti-cancer, alterative, antispasmodic, expectorant, decongestant, carminative, stimulating, emmenagogue, galactagogue, nervine, heart opening, and antidepressant actions. Like many plants in the mint family, holy basil works to open and balance, particularly in the head, the heart, and the stomach. Holy basil is considered to be helpful in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Preclinical studies have shown that holy basil “prevented chemical-induced skin, liver, oral, and lung cancers”; and was shown to “mediate these effects by increasing the antioxidant activity, altering the gene expressions, inducing apoptosis, and inhibiting angiogenesis and metastasis.” (Baliga et al., 2013).
