Interactions & contraindications

Calendula

Full profile

Pregnancy

Likely Safe

Topical use (creams, salves, washes) is widely considered one of the safest herbs in pregnancy for skin healing. Internal/oral use has more limited data and a theoretical emmenagogue reputation, so it's used more cautiously.

Breastfeeding

Likely Safe

Topical use is widely used for nipple/skin care while breastfeeding and considered very safe.

Children

Likely Safe

Widely used topically for children's skin irritation, diaper rash, and minor wounds — one of the gentlest, most commonly used pediatric topical herbs.

As a member of the Asteraceae (ragweed/daisy) family, this herb carries a real chance of cross-reaction in anyone allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, or daisies — introduce cautiously if there's a known allergy.
