Farmer’s Almanac has a good piece up on using the healing plant, Calendula, for tea, oil, or salve.
Reasons to make your own?
–No added chemicals.
–Natural healing always trumps man-made because the body recognizes natural biological makeup and can utilize it.
–If you grow your own Calendula, you’re also giving back. Because bees will use the pollen to make their honey and whatnot…and we all know what trouble the bees are in. They need all the help they can get.
