We recently talked about infusing Calendula versus decocting it and you said that the only constituents that you don’t get when you infuse Calendula are the resins. Can you break this down more specifically as to what benefits you get (and don’t get) from just infusing Calendula versus decocting it? Are the anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties only in the resins? Is the mucilage only in the resin? The vulnerary attributes? I don't remember Amanda going over this specifically (and I looked and couldn't find it!) Thank you!

With an infusion you would get much of the anti-inflammatory and antiviral activity, but much less antibacterial activity There is no mucilage in resin, and the vulnerably effects would be diminished if the antibacterial activity is reduced.
