Abstract

Calendula plant has been used in traditional medicine for its purported healing properties in various ailments. These properties are due to different chemical components present in the plant, such as flavonoids and carotenoids. In this review, articles from 2011 to 2023 were surveyed to determine important phytochemicals present in calendula, as well as the parts of plant where each of these predominate. The pharmacological effects are attributed to constituents of calendula, and their use in formulations are described to show potential of calendula as a therapeutic agent.
