Marigold

[paddel]

I just wanted to let everyone know that marigold or calendula has been a remarkable healing flower in my battle against morgellons.

Its one of the most powerful natural killing agents out there in regard to the morgellons plague. It is one of the only natural things that kill asperigillus fungi. It has quercitin also which is a natural antiinflammatory.


Let's Plant Marigolds for Medicinal Purposes




Let's Plant Marigolds for Medicinal Purposes
by: Junji Takano

There are many kinds of marigolds, with yellow and orange colors and various sizes from an inch to about 3 feet high. Even the smell varies depending on the type and the place of growth. In Japan, marigold is called "Howsenka". Japanese use it for garden decoration, or as an ornamental use or Ikebana. You can also use the flower as a tea. The seeds and leaves are not only edible, but did you know that these are also used for medicinal purposes not only by traditional healers but also by modern medical groups and drug companies?

Marigolds

You can find marigolds anywhere in the world, because it grows easily, blooms reliably throughout summer, and have few insect and disease problems. In Hong Kong, Korea and Japan, I used to drink marigold flower tea to soothe indigestion. Leaves and seeds are used to treat practically everything from insomnia to stomach cramps and cancer diseases.

According to an ancient Chinese medical book of botanical herbs, marigold was one of the top leading plants which medicinal properties can be extracted. Today, with modern medical science, doctors believe that marigolds have some miracle negligence in it, because marigold tea can work on prevention of AIDS, diabetes, cancer and so on.

According to some magazines, farmers plant marigolds together with other plants, because it is effective to repel harmful insects in vegetable gardens. Though, we do not have any definite records yet, why don't you try and see to it by yourself?

Medicinal uses such as antibiotic, cancer, cathartic, diuretic, emetic, expectorant, poultice, tonic, and warts are reported by both traditional medical practitioners and modern medical doctors. It is used in treating joint pains, burns, scalds, and as a warts remover with leaf juice. Flowers are used for mucilaginousness, tonic, burns, and scalds.

Juices extracted from flowers are effective for snakebites, too. The flowers, and their alcoholic extract, possess marked antibiotic activity against some pathogenic fungi and bacteria. The seed is expectorant and has been used in treating cancer, eczema, etc. The powdered seeds are given to women during labor in order to provide strength.

The seed is edible whether you cook it or in raw. A dye is obtained from the flowers and leaves. The prepared juice has been used for dyeing finger and toenails. The seed contains 27% of viscous oil.

Most medicinal herbal tea, especially marigold tea has a certain medicinal property which calms the brain wave to normal form and repels the paranormal wave even in a short period of time. This means that marigold is effective to some viral diseases, too, just like that of PYRO-ENERGEN machine.

Plantain herb or Plantago Major Benefits Nature As Medicine

Sorry, I went off topic again.

Here is another great Marigold article .

Pamper Your Health With Pot Marigold

[tcmgpt13]

Just thought to mention that calendula or marigold is not the ornamental variety most grow in their gardens. Most herbal books will discuss this herb by calling it Calendula. This fact is mentioned in the article Carla posted:

Note: This post refers only to Pot Marigold or Calendula Officinalis, not to be mistaken with the non-herb marigolds, dwarf French Marigolds and African Marigolds.

At bit more on this from the wiki write up:

Calendula (pronounced /kəˈlɛndjuːlə/ Ca-lén-du-la),[1] pot marigold, is a genus of about 12-20 species of annual or perennial herbaceous plants in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to the area from Macaronesia east through the Mediterranean region to Iran. Calendula should not be confused with other plants that are also known as marigolds, such as plants of the genus Tagetes, corn marigolds or marsh marigolds.

Calendula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plantain is also a very valuable plant as Carla also mentions. Here's an interesting bit of information the herbalist I took a course from shared:

"It is believed to be one of the first plants to reach North America after European colonisation. Native Americans called the plant "white man's footprint" or "Englishman's foot" because it appeared wherever white men went."

From: Plantago major - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This herbalist also told her herbal class that the bruised leaves could be used to stem the flow of blood from wounds. The wiki article also mentions this. Evidently this herbalist was very knowledgeable about plants, as perhaps not every source is aware of this property--this is a good plant to know about if you are in the woods camping. A sort of first aid kit growing in many areas (just don't use plants which grow near roads as they may have been sprayed).

"There is a contraindication that seems to be missing from most of the current literature, however. It is a potent coagulant. This can be tested easily by taking some water-based paint, making some plantain tea and mixing the two together. The paint particles will immediately permanently separate from the water. Because of this unique quality, plantain was used as a wound dressing on the battlefield (it was also called "Soldier's Herb" [11] which referred to this use). Due to these properties, people who take blood thinners or those prone to blood clots should never use plantain internally."

Very interesting post. I cured myself with by other antifungal means, but this marigold information on antifungal and antibacterial properties is very impressive. I'm going to have to load the garden up next year so I can start to incorporate teas and tinctures into my box of herbal goodies.

Thanks,
