Another valuable plant to have around. If you apply calendula flower oil to your cuts, scrapes, bruises, and insect bites, you can quickly speed the healing process, partially due to the anti-inflammatory & anti-viral properties of the oil, in addition to the unique antioxidant compounds found in this miraculous plant. It's also used for making skin cream & moisturizer for chapped, dry cracking skin and for sunburn. The entire plant, including flowers, is edible.

I agree Julia. I just need to learn how to extract the oil and make the skin cream. Lord knows I need it!

That's another great plant. Who needs pharmaceuticals?

Nearly all our medicines are derived from plant extract of one kind or another...nature provides.

Stunning and great healing all in one .
Years ago so called witches used plants for healing making concoctions people would go to them for cures and advice the councils of towns and villages felt threatened they were loosing their power as people were not going to them so they waited until some one died after taking one of their concoctions then spread the word the witches has put a curse on them which scared the people so the councils got back their power as the people returned to their advice and help.
