"We must enjoy each day--one at a time. We are here on a short visit. Be sure to smell the flowers."

Calendula (Calendula officinalis): Research shows that calendula closes wounds, reduces inflammation, and stimulates the growth of new skin cells. Many health-food stores sell skin creams and sunscreens containing calendula.
