FREE: Calendula Pot Marigold Seeds 15 seeds

The listing, Calendula Pot Marigold Seeds 15 seeds has ended.

Up for grabs are some Calendula seeds. Also known as Pot Marigold or Common Marigold, this is a super easy plant to grow and reseeds itself every year. I did some research on this plant and found some really interesting stuff on it:

Calendula has a wide range of medicinal uses. It is a soothing tea for gastrointestinal problems, healing wash for skin wounds, easily infused into oil for a healing salve or balm. Great for baby diaper area.

Calendula also has the rare quality of keeping its color during soapmaking. Unlike most herbal additives, calendula will not turn brown or black in a bar of herbal soap. Add 1 tablespoon of petals to just enough oil to cover. After your soap reaches trace, stir in the oil and petal mixture throughout your soap batch. The bright orange petals will remain bright and offer even soothing properties to the finished soap.

As a beauty aid, a Calendula rinse made of unsweetened tea brings out the highlights in blonde and brunette hair. Also try running bath water over a mesh bag full of Calendula flowers for a refreshing and stimulating bath that is good for the skin.

As with any herb please use only if you are comfortable with it. It is recommended in most herbal books that pregnant women do not use this and other herbs.

Thanks for looking and as always free shipping and from a smoke free home!
