You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Calendula officinalis, the botanical name, originates from the Latin word calends (which comes from calare, to call). But we call it in more popular name, Marigold.

It's medicinal value originates from the Ancient Greeks and Romans who used it as a tea to relieve nervous tension and sleeplessness. It has also been used in cooking, dying cloth and skin care and was a well-known symbol of good luck.

The petals are also used as a decoration among Ancient Greeks for cosmetics, food coloring, and as a material dye.
