Calendula: The Herb of the Sun 🌼
Calendula: The Herb of the Sun 🌼
Welcome to the very first episode of God’s Medicine Cabinet with Ebodyz, where we learn one plant at a time.
This week’s featured herb is Calendula (Calendula officinalis), often called the Herb of the Sun because of its bright golden blooms and long history in traditional herbal practices.
Calendula has been appreciated for generations for its beauty and versatility. Its petals are edible and can be enjoyed in teas, infused into oils, added to salads, or incorporated into homemade skincare products. The flower naturally contains plant compounds such as flavonoids, carotenoids, and antioxidants, which have been studied for their role in supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
This week’s video serves as an introduction to Calendula. Over the next several days, we’ll take a deeper look at how to use this herb in everyday life, including:
🍵 How to prepare Calendula tea
🌿 Herbal tea blends featuring Calendula
đź«™ How to make Calendula-infused oil
✨ A simple DIY Calendula product
My goal with this series is to make learning about herbs simple, practical, and approachable. Whether you’re just beginning your herbal journey or looking to expand your knowledge, I hope you’ll join me as we discover God’s incredible creation—one plant at a time.

The Calendula featured in this series was purchased from District Market Green Grocer, a Black-owned holistic grocery store that offers a wonderful selection of herbs and natural wellness products. I encourage you to support businesses that help make herbal education and wellness more accessible within our communities.
Thank you for being here, and I’ll see you in the next episode as we continue exploring God’s Medicine Cabinet with Ebodyz.
