Did you know the highest amount of medicinal oils is found in the green base of the calendula flower? It's important to leave this part on when drying your flowers to ensure you get the most medicine out of your plant!
You can feel this sticky resin when you pick calendula flowers!

If you buy dried calendula to use for medicine, to infuse in oils, etc be sure to get the whope flower and not just flower petals as you will sometimes see sold. It's still medicinal like that but not nearly as good as the whole flower head.
