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.

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.
