More and more people are discovering things that earlier generations knew. Things like eating a good diet goes along way to improving health. Growing our own food is not only satisfying, but gives the comfort of knowing how the food was raised, which we don't have when we get food from the supermarket.
But other plants and flowers can be useful as well and not just for food. For example, marigolds are a common flower used for decoration but as the following article shows, it has other uses as well:
Marigold (also known as Calendula officinalis) is not just a beautiful flower, but a natural medicine for many conditions. The marigold has now been placed in the books of cancer and anti-cancer cures, because it has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. The marigold is also able to help in the treatment of wounds. It is excellent in healing burns, stings and impetigo (a contagious skin infection.) It is also wonderful in the treatment of warts, corns and calluses. The flowers are also used in the treatment of many skin conditions from eczema to varicose ulcers.
