St. Matthew, Chapter [7]: KJV 16-20 "15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

Many people think of Calendula ( Marigold ) as nothing more than an ornamental plant. Like many other "ornamental plants" though, it has an arsenal of medicinal properties and thorough scientific studies to back up its healing potential. Sometimes though, plants really are just ornamental. On this page well discuss all of its medicinal qualities, the science behind it, and the ancient applications it has in holistic health practices.
"Calendula oils are prized for their anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties. A tincture is used topically foracne, to reduce inflammation, control bleeding, and sooth irritated tissue. Topically it also helps prevent dermatitis and pain. It also has applications for abdominal cramps and constipation(yikes!). It demonstrates both spasmolytic and spamogenic effects and immunomodulatory properties as well as anti-tumor activity in mice. In rare cases, it induces allergic reactions."[2] Don't say I didn't warn you! It has some useful around the house, do it yourself type applications as well that I'll talk about further down the page.
Phytochemical Constituents:
When people mindlessly rant about how these remedies have no science to back up their potential medical value, they are wrong. People who don't believe in this sorta thing are naturally bias against the therapeutic use of plants. Instead of taking the time to do the research the just believe that there hasn't been any. See scholar.google.com, JSTOR, wikipedia, pubchem, Encyclopedia Britannica, etc. Fortunately for us, there is an entire branch of chemistry dedicated to the study of medicinal plants. It's called phytochemistry, and it studies the pharmacological alkaloids that these herbs create, how they work, what their benefits are, if there are any dangers / toxcicity, etc.. Each herbal remedy produces many medicinally active chemicals, and Calendula is no different. Each chemical has multiple pharmacological ( medicinal ) properties. You can read all about them on pubchem and various peer reviewed databases that scholar publish their findings to. Some are free and public, some are private for schools, some are paid. A lot of Wikipedia entries cite these journals.
The Calendula flowers contain flavonol glycosides, triterpene oligoglycosides, oleanane-type triterpene glycosides, saponins, and a sesquiterpene glucoside.[2] Learn more about these on PubChem, scholar.google.com, and Wikipedia. Each one of these complex alkaloids is created by the plant using a schematic programmed into the DNA ( Deoxyribonucleic Acid ). They all have their own unique medicinal qualities. Essentially, each alkaloid is a medicine in itself. Sapponins are found in other herbs which are thought to be oneirogenic ( dream inducing ). This all seems to point to intelligent design to me. For these compounds, alkaloids, and phytochemicals are so complex and beneficial, it would seem impossible to be mere accident. I've read the studies, and they are mind blowing. People need to be talking about this, and getting right with God in the process.
For anyone who's done a lot of research on these natural remedies this should come as no surprise. Today new plant species are being discovered all across the globe. Unfortunately the destruction of the rain-forest and other parts of nature are endangering hundreds of thousands of plant species that could very well be cures and powerful medicines for human kind. The next time you see a "weed" and feel the urge to destroy it, remember these facts. Nature is the planets largest and most active pharmacy. I also want to encourage everyone to understand discernment, and that not all plants are medicine. You can't just pull up any weed out of your yard and boil it into a tea, although it is likely that there is at least one medicinal plant growing on your property or near by. Some plants have the potential to become toxic at certain dosages, may interact with other drugs or medicines, can cause potential allergic reactions, and react to different people differently. What may be good for one person, may not be good for another. In herbalism, this is highly focused upon when diagnosing someone. I strongly advise using caution when encountering doctrine associated with any type of herbal practice. Not all plants on their own are forbidden in God's eyes, but the doctrine is the snare of the trapper than you need to look out for. Be ware of astrology and occult teachings somehow tied in with botanicals. Pay attention when shopping, and avoid brands with odd occultic and new age symbols.
