Marigold

Marigold (Calendula spec., Asteraceae)

Ibicencan: boixac

French: souci

German: Ringelblume

Dutch: goudsbloem

The field marigold (Calendula arvensis; photo) grows in fields and uncultivated areas. In the Casita Verde it grows spontan­eously. Although it has the same properties as the pot marigold (C. officinalis), it is not in common use for its medicinal properties.

A tea from the flowers has a spasmolytic effect and increases the bile production. Calendula cream is used to heal wounds, burns and eczemas. Recipe for cream.
