What other
people think
Tagetes is often confused with English Marigold
or calendula. Calendula does not exist as an essential oil... but is mostly
found as an infused oil which is very safe....Tagetes on the other hand contains
a high proportion of ketones quoted from Aromatherapy an A - Z by
Patricia Davis.
