The petals of the calendula plant ( Calendula officinalis ) have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries apart from its beauty enhancement regime. Often referred to as pot marigold or garden marigold, calendula is native to Mediterranean countries but is now grown as an ornamental plant throughout the world. It is important to note, however, that not all household plants called marigold are members of the calendula family.
