Calendula the Golden Goddess

I had small fever for months for no understandable reason. Until I decided to use Calendula for treatment.
I  ate a few blossoms every day for four days and my fever went away for good, this time.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis), also known as marigold grows throughout the world. It has many traditional  uses.  An infusion made from the crushed petals is used for its cleansing and antiseptic properties, and extracts and ointments are used to treat jaundice, to induce menstruation, to produce sweat during fevers  and also as a remedy for digestive disorders.

Calendula is used to treat a variety of conditions and diseases such as jaundice, stomach ulcers, liver complaints, digestive disorders, conjunctivitis, and externally, to heal wounds. It is also used to promote menstruation, induce sweating, increase urination, and to relieve flu and fevers.

 For external use, Calendula flowers and leaves are made into ointment or powder for  cuts, scrapes, scalds, blisters, abrasions, acne, rashes.
Calendula tea can be used to rinse hair, which leaves your lighter locks highlighted.
A solution of Calendula can be made by adding one or two teaspoons of dried or fresh Calendula petals to 150g of boiling water and letting is soak for 5 to 10 minutes. The solid particles are strained out and the solution can be either consumed up to three times a day, or used as skin tonic. If you like the Calendula tea, it is advised to use honey instead of sugar.
 Calendula is known to affect the menstrual cycle and should therefore not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. 

By eating two Calendula flower buds daily will cure cervical erosinons, angina and will reduce fever. You can use them in salads or  eat flowers as they are. Most beneficial are the calendulas with light hearts. It is not advised to consume the Calendulas with black hearts.
Just pick and Bon Appetit!
