For correction of skin problems such as varicose veins and cancers, too much or no pigment of skin, frostbite and athlete's foot, Calendula is used in the following manner: apply Vitamin E oil from 100 or 400 i.u. capsule(s) to the affected area.

Soak gauze in the extract and apply over the area, cover with plastic sandwich wrap and a cloth wrap to hold all in place. Change once each day but allow area to dry between applications. Taken internally, it has proven effective for jaundice, water retention, pockets of the colon and stomach problems, as well as viral and bacterial invasion.
