BENEFITS OF MARIGOLD TEA

Marigolds (Calendula officinalis) are widespread in the Mediterranean area of Europe and North-Eastern Europe. They belong to the Asteraceae family and are an annual herbaceous species with yellow flowers. These plants keep their flowers for most of the year, closing them at night and opening them at dawn.

Marigold flowers contain saponosides, mucilages, carotenoids (approx. 3.5%), triterpene alcohols, flavonoids and flavone glycosides, sterols, tannins, volatile oil (approx. 0.02%), bitter substances, traces of volatile oil (oxygenated sesquiterpenes), vitamin C, malic acid, mineral salts and protein substances.

Marigolds are annual plants that flower from May to September.
Harvest time: harvest marigold flowers without stems when fully developed. Marigolds are harvested 4-5 days at a time, after dew has risen and until evening. Dry in thin layers in the shade.

For internal use marigolds have a remarkable therapeutic effect in treating diseases such as gastric and duodenal ulcers, jaundice, cancerous ulcers, hemorrhoids, inflammation of the colon or liver disease.
For external use use with confidence marigold in the form of marigold tincture, tea marigold, marigold infusion or marigold alfalfa to treat conditions such as mycosis, wounds purulent, acne, leukorrhea, burns, ulcerative breast lesions, breast and skin cancer.

For the marigold infusion, put 2 teaspoons of dried marigold flower tips in 350 ml of boiling water. From the infusion, drink the tea three times half an hour before eating. A more strongly concentrated infusion is made from 4 tablespoons of marigold flowers to 250 ml of water, of which 3 teaspoons are drunk daily.

Drinking two to three cups of marigold tea a day between meals has an excellent effect in treating hyperacid gastritis and peptic ulcers. Marigold tea also has the property of soothing menstrual pain, especially in anaemic people.

Marigold-infused compresses activate dry skin. Marigold tea is also recommended for treating jaundice, ulcers and uterine lesions.

Marigold flowers in the form of baths, poultices or tincture are also used as a dressing for wounds that are slow to heal, such as ulcers, pus wounds, burns, frostbite, acne and eczema, because the active ingredients in marigold have the ability to stimulate blood circulation in the tissues, thus speeding up healing and wound healing.
