The Benefits of Marigold

A tea made of the flowers of this plant stimulates the liver and has anti-inflammatory properties, says Rolf Stühmer in his book The Big Book of Health. Tincture of marigold which any pharmacist will be pleased to make up, is a powerful antiphlogistic for skin diseases. Poor healing wounds, varicose ulcers and mouth and throat infections can be helped by a compress with marigold tincture or a mouthwash.
