You are going to love how beautiful they are. They did best in chilly weather for me here in Texas. I really love the strawberry blonde, playtime mix and snow princess ones from baker's creek. 🤩
I LOVE this video!!! I knew about the properties of calendula, but never looked into utilizing them in an oil. I'm glad I found your video because im growing tons of calendula this year, and I'll definitely be giving this a try
@@TheNakidGardeners Who..Me?😂 LOL. I'm stoked you've checked out my stuff! Thank you sooo much! Honestly, I love what ya'll are doing! You two make a great team and your garden thrives because of it!
Loved your video! Yall are such a cute couple, you work well together, are pleasant to listen to & explain everything so well. I appreciate that! I'm 70 & sad to say, I'm just now starting to learn these important skills. One day soon natural medicines that we make will be the only thing available or affordable. Much love from SE Texas ❤.

@@TheNakidGardenersAs for my medicinal plants, I had a borage and Ashwagandha before the freeze. I have some stevia going and just sowed Ashwagandha again. I have some goldenrod seeds too.
Very interesting chemistry. I have some Calendula seeds. I didn't know it has such a pretty yellow flower, and I need to plant Calendula. Do you think it's a perennial or annual. I've never made my own oils.
Oh, I am growing my own turmeric and I am so shocked at the difference in color of your organic Turmeric compared to my store bought spice. But it makes sense as the roots for juicing are darker 🤔. I love learning to making salves. I now need to check if I have calendula seeds. I made like salve bars last time using organic calendula from the health food store. But it started like a salve. However, I have to keep them in the fridge in Florida. PS. Mrs. Nakid Gardener looks amazing and so do those shelves, love those.
Awwwww! Thank-you💕 Turmeric is going to be a staple that we grow, i like to put 1/4 tsp of it, our ginger & our lemon powder together for a tea.....so delicious! I am fascinated by medicinal herbs and learning them. Aside from Yarrow, Calendula is the other flower I am most comfortable with, it is absolutely beautiful and I'm now obsessed with them, lol! I'm interested in how you made your salve bar --Mrs. NG
@@TheNakidGardeners I added just a bit more beeswax, and cocoa butter and coconut oil, but since doing it, learned about Coconut oil can clog pours, but one swipe of the bar and my son’s ashy skin glows. I just might have to make it more of a cream consistency not to shock him with a cold bar. lol But I poured the mix into a silicone mold about the size of my palm. I have to get measurements down and make it a bit more shelf stable to do a video about it. But it’s base was just like your salve except I used a tiny bit of olive and substituted grape seed oil like you mentioned for a skin salve. :)
How do you dry your flowers, I tried leaving them laying out in my house but they started getting fuzzy I'm sure it was from the humidity in my laundry room but it's always humid here. Should I put them in the dehydrator?
I put them in brown paper bags out of any sunlight and in a cool spot... Like in a cabinet. My fear of the dehydrator with them is to lose the potency. I definitely prefer the fresh flower method after trying both methods. 😊
I like the video... I like the herbs... I like the options...I like the shirt...and I like the human!!! More of these kinds of videos please!!! Ps look up broadleaf plantain its a weed that grows almost everywhere( even had it in el paso Texas when we lived there) it made an AMAZING bug itch relief salve my kids all swear by... if I used fresh leaves I added a drop or 2 of teatree oil...JUST in case since it has antibacterial/viral whatever properties and over a year later I need more salve and had zero issues with it... I bet plantain and calendula would be AMAZING... now you are gonna make me go buy more seeds! Dangit... I said I was done!
Lol...... You are gonna make my husband put me in front of the camera 🤦🏼♀️😅 You just started something with this plantain business, I'm going to do some research on it now...... I knew soaking them in water to fertilize plants was a win. Thanks for inspiring me! Where can I find that recipe for the bug itch salve? 💕-Mrs. NG
@@TheNakidGardeners can I post a link on here? Im not sure if it will get deleted? I know you cant on amazon live... lol honestly it was the same recipe as this i just used plantain instead of calendula... I bet both would be amazing! 2 birds one stone! wellnessmama.com/5387/plantain-healing-herb/
@@TheNakidGardeners my 9 yr old has super sensitive skin...and EVERYTHING irritates it... salve with plantain doesn't ! I know it from. A girl.scout as a kid...ifnyou get stung by a bee in the woods... you chew it real quick and then apply to the sting and it takes MOST of the sting and reaction right out... my kids use it for big bites, bee stings, went down the playground slide and got that raspberry burn from the plastic... etc if and doubt they grab it... oil herb beeswax heated gently in a jar... and a drop or 2 of tea tree oil for good measure
Calendula cream is not as anti fungal as the oregano but it can work very well for some people, it does not have the sting factor, and it's very soothing. Put on a sock and let the oil or cream soak in. You should see an improvement in a week or so. I should test this out on Sid 🤔
See how we make other medicinal healing and spices on this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL94dIbp2wpGiADkKE814KmdvHUjwYyIPs.html
What about botulism? I read the flowers should be dry no moisture to prevent botulism toxin.
@@michaelmorales2472 following the recipe, we never had any occurrence.
First comment!
I'm excited to grow Calendula soon. I'm so jealous of your clean kitchen 😁
❤️🤣....... I'm seriously in love with calendula and you know that kitchen is super clean because we're selling it 👀🤦🏼♀️😅
Growing Calendula this spring for the first time. I want to make the salve. Thank you for making these interesting videos. Just love them!!!

Beautiful flower for sure but I never knew it had some many medicinal values!! Excellent information mam, y'all have a good Thursday evening!! Dan
Thank you so much Dan! I really love the smell of them too and how the bees go crazy for them! 🤩
Thanks for this great information, Mrs. SG. Also, the shirt game is next level! Love it!
Rob
Hey Rob! Thank you 💕
Does Mrs. SG grow calendula?
-Mrs. NG
@@TheNakidGardeners She does! Any flowers you see in the garden, credit goes to her.
Rob
I have not made my salve yet but I am excited to make it. Great instructional video! I am excited to get some salve made
Yeah! I hope it simplified it.... It really is easy to make and lasts a long time. Have you made any infused oils or lotions?
@@TheNakidGardeners yes I have calendula infused oil and lavender infused oil.
@@MakingLemonadeFromLemons Oh I can't wait to make our own lavender infused oil. Especially since we have a lot of diffusers that take oil drops
I LOVE this video!!! I knew about the properties of calendula, but never looked into utilizing them in an oil. I'm glad I found your video because im growing tons of calendula this year, and I'll definitely be giving this a try
Oh look at Mrs Hollywood checking on our video. We are so excited. Been following you on IG and UA-cam.
What variety of calendula are you growing?
@@TheNakidGardeners Who..Me?😂 LOL. I'm stoked you've checked out my stuff! Thank you sooo much! Honestly, I love what ya'll are doing! You two make a great team and your garden thrives because of it!
@@BroadwayGardener ahh I've been peeping your IG and channel out for a hot minute now. You're on your way luv.
Great video, thank you! I use Calendula in my soaps- will try Rosemary's method... Jess
Wonderful! Let us know how it works out for you. Hopefully it goes well as it did for us.
Thanks for stopping by and watching
3 seconds into the video.... I love that shirt!
Thanks
I can not wait to try this!
Start your calendula now! Great for the dry skin.
The calendula cream got rid of the itchy feeling my legs have after shaving that our homade lotion didn't help with. 😊
That was so interesting. I have use herbs for culinary uses. I think I need to grow flowers!
Grow baby! Grow!
@@TheNakidGardenersI am so excited for the growing season!

I have added calendula to my garden this year. Great info.
Oh nice. What other flowers do you grow? Are any of them medicinal?
@@TheNakidGardenersAs for my medicinal plants, I had a borage and Ashwagandha before the freeze. I have some stevia going and just sowed Ashwagandha again. I have some goldenrod seeds too.
@@missygrando1965 ohhh where did you get the goldenrod from? We have been trying to search for those seeds
@@TheNakidGardeners Urban Farmer
@@missygrando1965 thank you so much
Thank you I'm going to try this!
Awesome! Have you made any other types of salves or creams? If so, which are you finding to be most useful?
@@TheNakidGardeners I'm a first time gardener so no I haven't done any of this as of yet! But your video has really inspired me to try it out!😁❤
We're going to cheer for you, let us know how it goes and we are here for you if you have any questions!
What growing zone are you in?
@@TheNakidGardeners 6B OH-IO😂❤ Thanks and I'll let you know how it goes!
Very interesting chemistry. I have some Calendula seeds. I didn't know it has such a pretty yellow flower, and I need to plant Calendula. Do you think it's a perennial or annual. I've never made my own oils.
It is an self seeding annual. So at the end of the season it will drop it seeds and the following season it will have more flowers.

How does the cream hold up? I’d like to making something like this for a lotion but wondering if I should add butters
It's good. I think For a salve or lotion you probably need to add a butter or bee wax
I wonder if it's good for athlete's foot!?
