MARIGOLD FLOWERS
Calendula officinalis, also known as pot marigold, is a plant that grows in the Mediterranean region. This flower can grow up to 61 cm, with leaves 5 to 15 cm long. While the diameter of the flower reaches 10 cm. This flower is quite unique, because in one plant there are two different colors on the flower. The color of the flower is orange and yellow. The flowering time is in summer.

A study in 2016, conducted by researchers from Iran, led by Mostafa Najafi, mentioned the content of chlorogenic acid in this plant. This chlorogenic acid has many properties, such as high blood pressure medication, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-tumor.

The amount of chlorogenic acid was about 1,942 µM/500g in marigold pot flowers when a study was conducted by Iranian researchers. These results after using the Analytical figures of merit research method, this method itself uses square wave voltammetry (SWV). This method uses a calibration construction that has high sensitivity to produce voltammetric cycle resolution. The results obtained are derived from parallel wave voltammograms and oxidation calibration graphs of various concentration levels.

The high levels of chlorogenic acid present in Pot Marigold flowers make these flowers quite efficacious in healing and treating several diseases due to excessive oxidants in the body. Marigold pot flowers that are dried and then brewed into tea are quite healthy if drunk regularly 1-2 times a day. The many properties possessed by marigold pot flowers certainly make it a flower that has high economic value.
