Excellent herbal remedy for skin

     Marigold (Calendulla officinalis) is an excellent herb for skin problems. It is used externally in form of a cream. Marigold regenerates and nourishes skin. Heals wounds, frostbites, burns, varicose veins, feet fungal infection, eczema. It is good for damaged and rough skin. In case of eczema it is good to combine this cream with good hand cream.

    

     Cream is made from fresh leaves, stems nad flowers (you can add more flowers than leaves and stems) and pigs fat.

     To make a cream you need 2 handfuls of herbs (cut in small pieces) and 500g of pigs fat. Heat the fat to the temperature of frying steaks, add herbs slowly and carefully, stir it and fry a little. Remove from fire, cover and leave it for one day. When you add herbs in to heated fat, fat can foam so use big pan.

     Next day warm it until it melts, so that you can strain and pour it into small containers. It is good to keep the cream in the refrigerator.

     Some people use this cream for any problems they have with skin, for pain or anything in general.
