Calendula has one of the longest continuous medicinal track records of any garden flower — used since antiquity to calm irritated, broken, or inflamed skin, and still one of the most reached-for botanicals in modern dermatological herbalism for exactly that reason.

Infused into oil, calendula’s anti-inflammatory and wound-supportive compounds are able to sit directly on the skin’s surface where they’re needed — soothing eczema flare-ups, calming heat rashes, and supporting the skin’s own barrier repair. It doesn’t mask irritation. It works with the skin’s own healing process, gently, without the sting of most active treatments.

A bottle, a single ingredient doing exactly what centuries of use have shown it can do.

Calendula Oil is available via the link in bio and all our Oh Holiday! branches.

Oh Holiday! at Shangri-La The Fort, BGC is built for the woman moving between meetings who still needs her body looked after.

Stop by, tell us what you’re dealing with — a cycle that’s off, a stretch of exhaustion, a stomach that’s been difficult lately — and walk out with a to-go cup formulated for exactly that. Just fifteen minutes and the right blend for what you’re actually carrying today. 💚

Before pharmacology, there was the Silk Road — nearly 3,000 years of trade routes connecting China, Central Asia, Persia, and the Mediterranean, carrying not just silk and spice, but medicinal knowledge. Herbalists along these routes exchanged formulations, growing techniques, and centuries of clinical observation long before the word “clinical” existed. A root or a leaf that traveled these roads didn’t just cross borders; it was tested, refined, and trusted across generations of practitioners. 🍃

A regular cycle is not one system working correctly. No. 49 was formulated to address your liver, nervous system, and circulation at once, not just the bleeding pattern.

The craft behind it is layered, not linear: support the liver’s ability to clear excess hormones, calm a nervous system that’s been running the stress response for too long, and ease the inflammation and sluggish circulation that turn a hard week into a genuinely difficult one. None of that happens through a single “hormone herb.” It happens when the formulation treats the cycle as the output of a system, not a switch to flip.

Regularity, in this blend, is a byproduct of the body finally working in agreement with itself.

Thoughtfully formulated by our UK Certified Clinical Herbalist, No. 49 Regular Cycle Support is available for you online and in-store.
