An extremely well known and favourite herb for many for it's gentle topical use, Calendula is recognised for supporting skin regeneration from wounds, cuts, grazes, and soothing inflammed skin including heat rash and nappy rash. It is a very fast herbal agent, so wounds need to be meticulously clean before applying.

Violet

A sweet herb with a long medicinal tradition, the heart shaped leaves are used to soothe skin swellings, inflammation and also bruising.
