Mari gold, Calendula Extract, Pharmacological Activity, Phytoconstituent.Abstract
Calendula officinalis, commonly known as marigold, has a rich history in herbal medicine, recognized for its diverse pharmacological activities. The plant, native to Europe and widely cultivated, is utilized in various preparations for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. Its flowers and leaves contain a range of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, saponins, and terpenoids, which contribute to its therapeutic effects. Traditional uses encompass treatment for skin ailments, infections, and digestive disorders, while modern studies validate its efficacy in managing conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The extraction methods and safety profiles of Calendula extracts have shown minimal toxicity, making them viable for herbal formulations. Future research is encouraged to explore the full potential of this versatile herb, including its lesser-studied parts and advanced extraction techniques, to enhance its therapeutic applications in herbal medicine.
