Marigold Marigold
Calendula Officinalis,
I planted you for bees,
But for me you have uses.
In salad for food
Or poultice for sting
I welcome the positive
Stuff that you bring 🙂
Nigella sativa — more commonly known as fennel flower — has been used as a cure-all remedy for over a thousand years. It treats everything from vomiting to fevers to skin diseases, and has been widely available in impoverished communities across the Middle East and Asia.
But now Nestlé is claiming to own it, and filing patent claims around the world to try and take control over the natural cure of the fennel flower and turn it into a costly private drug.
They must be stopped!
