Traditional Botanical Blend

Calendula, often referred to as the English marigold, has historically been included in herbal skincare preparations. Hypericum, also known as St John’s Wort, has a long tradition of external use in botanical oils and tinctures.

Together, these botanicals have traditionally been combined in herbal practice as part of gentle, plant-based skin care routines.

History

Calendula and hypericum have both been widely referenced in historical herbal texts. In the early twentieth century, British physician and homeopath Dr Dorothy Shepherd wrote extensively about her experiences with these plants and their role in traditional herbal practice.

Hypercal later emerged as a combined preparation, bringing together these two complementary herbs into a single formulation.

Scientific & Clinical Interest

Modern research has explored calendula and hypericum individually for their phytochemical properties and historical external applications.

Studies have examined calendula in relation to skin comfort, tissue integrity and post-procedural care. Hypericum has been studied for its complex plant compounds and long-standing external use traditions.

Clinical research has also explored these herbs in postnatal and dermatological contexts. References to studies reflect ongoing scientific interest and historical use rather than direct claims regarding products sold on this website.

Summary

Hypercal represents a traditional herbal approach that combines two historically significant plants into a single botanical preparation. Its continued use reflects both long-standing herbal knowledge and ongoing scientific interest in plant-based external care.
