UCHUQ'ASPA (Family: Asteraceae): Calendula officinalis
http://qu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uchuq'aspa
Calendula officinalis is used for the treatment of skin disorders and pain, and as a bactericide, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. The petals and pollen contain triterpenoid esters (an anti-inflammatory) and the carotenoids flavoxanthin and auroxanthin (antioxidants, and the source of the yellow-orange coloration). The leaves and stems contain other carotenoids, mostly lutein (80%) and zeaxanthin (5%), and beta-carotene. Plant extracts are also widely used by cosmetics, presumably due to presence of compounds such as saponins, resins and essential oils.
The tincture varies in action according to the concentration of ethanol used to prepare it, frequently either 25% or 90%, due to the variable solubility of different active principles.
Along with Equisetum arvense, marigold is one of the few plants which is considered astringent despite not being high in tannins.[citation needed] It is relatively allergenic, and for dermatological purposes, chickweed may be a better first choice for such conditions as dermatitis.
