Calendula (Marigold)

Calendula is an excellent detoxifying, internal remedy for external problems such as eczema, acne, varicose veins and thrush, as it is anti-fungal, antiseptic, anti-bacterial and anti-viral. It can also be diluted and applied topically to skin problems to speed the healing process. Apply neat to cold sores for a quick remedy for an annoying problem. The tincture is also excellent for internal problems such as peptic ulcers and colitis, as it acts as an anti-inflammatory on the digestive system.
