Internal use is more limited and must be limited to a few days, max 15 days (the concern is slightly toxic):

* Inflammation-infection of the digestive tract (colitis, gastroduodenitis)
* In addition to the external treatment of bruising
* 2006 Spanish researchers have studied the properties of a new marigold extract: an aqueous extract having undergone a prolonged laser (LACE). In this study, the marigold extract proves inhibit several types of cancer cells in mice. Inhibition of tumor growth is between 70 and 100%, cancer cells are stopped in their growth and multiplication, some self-destruct (apoptosis). This study is isolated and, to my knowledge, no clinical applications.

The marigold flower can be eaten, it adds color and flavor to salads original.
