What Djanija says
Serbia, the Balkans · Baba's Herbs
“Marigold (neven) compresses for burns, spots and redness, Baba's flower for the skin.”
“Marigold (Calendula officinalis). Neven. Compresses for burns, spots, redness. On intact skin and small wounds. On a burn only after cooling.”
What Nicolai says
Siberia, Lake Baikal · The Forest Cupboard
“Gargles. A beetroot gargle, a sage and calendula gargle for a sore throat, remembered from many Russian childhoods.”
“The book of today. The modern Russian pharmacopoeia holds 83 plant entries, 51 shared with the European pharmacopoeia and 32 found only in the Russian one, among them chaga, coltsfoot, bur marigold and Bergenia, the badan of Siberia. The same scientists write plainly that the safety and the effect of herbal medicine should be confirmed. Nicolai likes that sentence. "Even our own scientists say: check. So do I."”
