Benefits of Marigold :

Helps Reduce Hemorrhoid Pain :

Because marigold treatments can promote tissue healing and reduce swelling, many find that applying it topically to the anal or genital area helps reduce symptoms of hemorrhoids or anal tears (also called anal fissures).

Eases Cramps and Spasms :

Calendula’s antispasmodic actions are beneficial for relieving muscle spasms, “charley horse” pains, stomach cramps, and PMS/menstrual cramps. Marigolds can decrease cramping by improving blood flow to the painful area and lowering inflammatory responses. 

The florets can be consumed in tea form to help ease digestion internally and improve liver health or applied over the abdomen in ointment/extract form to seep into tense muscles through the skin.

Vitamin C and Flavonoids :

If we talk about the health benefits of Marigolds, then we can see that we can get Vitamin C and also flavonoids from this Marigold flower. Because the flower of Marigold does not have any fat content, it can aid in weight loss also. You can also use Marigold flower to treat small burns, use it with a tincture, or as an ointment.

Eczema and Allergies :

Marigold is used by people to treat eczema, bruising, and allergic reactions. People who have oily complexions also use this flower to get rid of their oily complexions. For this, they apply the wet fresh flower and wash their face with water. Marigold flowers can also save your eyes and avoid any diseases of the eye like cataracts and many others.

Naturally Repels Bugs :

Due to their pungent odor, antioxidant content, and volatile oils, marigolds can be used to naturally repel mosquitoes, pests, and other insects. This is one reason marigold flowers are commonly planted in vegetable gardens and also used in extract form in candles, room or bug sprays, and many skin lotions to prevent mosquito bites.

Using marigold products on your skin helps repel bites, but you can also plant the flowers directly in your yard or garden to protect the soil. The flowers’ aroma works underground to keep away nematodes (microscopic worms) and other pests that can eat your crops, sometimes for up to three years after being planted, according to the Farmer’s Almanac. 

Controls inflammation :

The extracts of the flower succeeded in reducing the inflammation-causing cytokines in the body. In case you suffer from inflammatory pain and swelling, sip on tea made with marigold petals.

Restores oral health :

The thin, sticky film that you feel on your teeth first thing in the morning is called plaque and it contains zillions of bacteria that can destroy your pearly whites. These trouble-making germs can also cause gingivitis or inflammation of the gums. But did you know that both the problems can be taken care of with a little bit of calendula? Gargle your mouth with a few drops of marigold tincture first thing in the morning or before going to bed and say goodbye to dental plaque and gum inflammation.

Heals wounds :

Is a nasty cut on your finger giving you trouble? Treat it with calendula oil or calendula flower extract. It is scientifically proven that the flower extracts can speed up the healing of skin lesions and wounds. The wounds treated with marigold extract showed increased levels of hydroxyproline and hexosamine, two things that help heal wounds, in the new connective tissues that were forming in the place of the wounds.
