Calendula is native to Central and Southern Europe, Western Asia but it is widely cultivated all over the world and as it can be grown easily in sunny locations.
Various parts of calendula including leaves, flowers have been reported to possess therapeutic activity. The flowers are used as food dye, spice, tea, ointment and cream in cosmetics.
