Natra-Bio Calendula PL contains some of the following ingredients: Calendula Officinalis 1X (Garden Marigold), Arnica Montana 1X (Leopard's Bane), Belladonna 1X (Nightshade), Symphytum Officinale 1X (Comfrey), Hypericum Perforatum 1X (St. John's Wort), Ledum Palustre 1X (Wild Rosemary) and Grindelia Robusta 1X (Wild Sunflower).

Natra-Bio Calendula PL is promoted as a “remedy”, which is based on the tenets of homeopathic medicine. This system is based on three basic principles. Practioners of this system of folk medicine believe that “Like cures like”, meaning that they will use elements that create the symptoms a person is experiencing. However, these elements are used in an extremely diluted form. For example, to address cold symptoms, these practitioners may use a diluted form of mercury, which is a toxin with symptoms that mimic some aspects of a cold. The last principle is that they use only one remedy, so multiple remedies are never used.

The elements used in this formula are clearly geared toward alleviating skin issues and irritations. For instance, Calendula Officinalis is commonly found in ointments to increase healing. It has been shown to address a full range of skin problems, including burns, acne, minor wounds, eczemas and cysts, as well as reduce inflammation, control bleeding and soothe irritated tissue.

Arnica Montana has a long history of being used topically to address a wide range of skin and muscle conditions, such as bruises, sprains, muscle aches, wound healing, superficial phlebitis, rheumatic pain, inflammation from insect bites and swelling due to fractures. Comfrey is also thought to have some amazing abilities in this arena. It contains Allantoin, a cell proliferant, which may speed up the body’s natural replacement of body cells. Comfrey has a history of being used to address ailments such as broken bones, sprains, arthritis, gastric issues, severe burns, acne and other skin conditions.

We are a bit disappointed that this website does not provide any testimonials for consumer review at this time, and that they fail to provide information regarding the abilities of homeopathic medicine. This may be due to the controversial nature of this system of medicine. For instance, the research studies conducted on this system have been inconclusive as of this writing, and in many ways, seem medically improbable.

As we review Natra-Bio Calendula PL, two things become clear – it may well enable people to ease skin related issues, which is exactly what it is created to do – and it is likely not well suited for addressing varicose or spider veins. However, there are some really good products on the market that use elements that have been proven to create results.

For instance, Diosmin 95® has been shown to strengthen vein walls and valves by increasing the activity of neuramediators in these tissues. Clinical studies have shown that it may prevent varicose veins, which is a great boon for those who believe they may be at risk. It has also been shown to reverse this condition in some cases.
