A little history of Calendula

The Calendula, also known as Mary-Bud, Mary-Gold, Pot Marigold, and Poor Man’s Saffron, is one of the oldest of all cultivated flowers. The plant was described in the 3rd Century BC and was an important part of the gardens of 5th Century France. It has been under cultivation for six centuries. The Latin name, Calendae, means the first day of the month.

How it got its name as Mary Gold- One of the many folk tales which enrich the history of this plant describes a beautiful, golden-haired child called Mary-Gold who spent all of her time watching the sun until one day she disappeared and was never found. In the place where she used to sit, there grew a little sun-like flower. The child’s friends proclaimed that the little flower was really Mary-Gold and that she had been turned into a flower.

By the 1800s doctors had realized that the plant, used as a poultice, could stop bleeding. By the time of the Civil War, most doctors carried dried calendula petals in their medical bags to stop bleeding and to promote the healing of wounds.

The name “neroli” came about after the crusaders first brought the brightly-colored bitter orange from Asia to Europe. It was named after Anna Marie Orsini, the 17th century Princess of Nerola, Italy, who used it in her bath as a perfume and to scent her gloves. Anna popularized the use of neroli in beauty, but prior to her, neroli oil was a highly traded commodity used in ancient Egypt, traditional Chinese medicine and even to help fight the plague. The scent is often cited for its use in aromatherapy as it can reduce the levels of cortisol in the brain (monq).
