Marigold (Calendula officinalis)

Marigold:
This very strong smelling flower is planted in many gardens to keep bugs away for vegetables. Infusions made from the flowers is used to treat stomach cramps, diarrhea, ulcers, and fever. Topically, marigold is used to heal skin inflammations, such as acne, wounds, and burns.
Next week I will be posting the recipe for the topical cream.
