Indications
Ingredients
- 1 handful (approx. 70 g) of fresh Marigold flowers or a half-pound of dried marigold flowers.
- 200 g vaseline
Preparation
- Melt the petroleum jelly over low heat and add the marigold flowers.
- The petroleum jelly will very quickly take on a liquid, oily form (which allows the active ingredients of the marigold to be extracted).
- Boil everything a few seconds and mix well.
- Put the mixture into a muslin and squeeze well.
- Let it cool.
- Place in a jar or tube.
Dosage
- For injuries, wounds or burns apply several times a day.
- When blisters are present, apply directly to the affected area, covering with a bandage.
- At night, when lying down, remove the bandage to allow the blister to air dry for a few hours.
- For diaper rash, 15 to 20 minutes after cleansing the baby's bottom and air-drying, apply calendula ointment.
- This plant helps to heal the tissues and also reduces the risk of fungal and bacterial infections.
- The ointment also prevents dampness.
- After applying the ointment, leave the baby's bottom exposed to the air for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Repeat the process 2 times a day.
