Boiron Calendula Gel, 2.6 Ounce, Topical First Aid Gel: Health & Personal Care

Description

Calendula’s wound-healing properties are due to the presence of essential oils, saponins, flavonoids and alkaloids. These compounds have been shown to promote healing. Homeopathic preparations of the flower have been used for generations to speed the healing process. Since 1932, the Boiron family has focused on improving manufacturing to ensure its medicines are available at a consistent pharmaceutical-grade quality in more than 50 countries. Each year, the quality control team of 60 staff members conducts about 30,000 tests during the manufacturing process. Boiron Calendula Cream was recently awarded the Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA) Seal of Approval. With over 70,000 parents, PTPA Media has North America’s largest volunteer parent testing community. Calendula is made from its namesake: The Garden marigold (Calendula officinalis). A native to Southern Europe and cultivated widely throughout North America, it offers more than its good looks. This flower has healing power. With its bright yellow-orange blossoms, the Garden marigold has been applied locally for centuries as a natural healing and soothing substance. One of the most popular homeopathic medicines worldwide, this medicine cabinet staple should be stocked everywhere, including in first aid kits, travel toiletry bags, the kitchen, the nursery, and cosmetic surgeon offices. Boiron’s Calendula officinalis (or Garden marigold) is cultivated far from industrial or urban areas, farms or roads, and tested for contaminants. No fertilizer or pesticides are used. When in bloom, the flowers are handpicked and rushed to Boiron’s lab. A team of botanists and pharmacists transform the marigolds into a pharmaceutical-grade cream, gel, and ointment. Calendula Gel 2.5 oz GelProduct Description:Homeopathic medicines are therapeutically active micro-doses of mineral, botanical and biological substances. They are reliable and safe drugs, therefore considered by many as an excellent first choice when self-medicating. Homeopathy has been used for more than 200 years, building a remarkable safety record and generating a great body of knowledge. Today, homeopathy is used by millions of patients in more than 65 countries and recommended by more than 400,000 healthcare providers. Since the passing of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in 1938, homeopathic medicines have been regulated as drugs by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).1 To be accepted as a homeopathic medicine by the FDA, product ingredients must be identified in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS) or generally accepted as homeopathic under the principles of homeopathy. All Boiron homeopathic medicines are manufactured according to the highest standards, complying with the specifications of the HPUS as well as drug Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Being regulated as a drug, as opposed to a food or dietary supplement, ensures that homeopathic medicines adhere to drug labeling specifications. Like packaging for conventional over-the-counter drugs, packaging for homeopathic medicines must state specific diseases, ailments or symptoms for which the product is to be used, the concentration of active substance or substances contained therein, the recommended dosage and the mode of application.
