Very nice post.
Keep it up
Thank you.
I love marigolds but didn’t know they had so many great uses. Such an interesting post.
Yes, these are only few of the uses of Marigold they have plenty other uses too.
I love using Marigold (a.k.a. Calendula officinalis) in homemade skincare products, teas, and salads. Yes, it’s an edible flower! The leaves of Calendula are prickly and I prefer to just eat the yellow-orange flower petals of the plant. Pull the flower petals out of the flower head and sprinkle the flower petals over a salad or other foods. Calendula flowers can also be infused in an oil to use as a base for herbal oils, creams and lotions. Calendula is anti-fungal and very healing to the skin. It is also a beauty herb and very gentle. It can be used in lotions and soaps.
The photo you’ve shared features pot marigold, or Tagetes – a different species. However, the flower petals of the Tagetes marigold are edible, too. The pot marigold does not have the same skin soothing and medicinal properties as Calendula officinalis.
I never knew any of this about marigolds. Thank you for sharing.
