Chicken dung flower has the Latin Marigols, this flower is yellow and has a very beautiful shape, although this flower has a very pungent smell and is very unpleasant to smell. That is why this flower is better known as the chicken dung flower.
In Indonesia, especially in my area, this flower is rarely found because of the many flowers with new variants that enter Indonesia, even now the Aroid type flower or better known as the Wave of Love, Monstera obliqua or known as the widow flower perforation and many other flowers that don't have flowers are only broad-leaved which are viral and have very high prices in early 2021.
Although the smell is very pungent, this flower has many benefits for human health, because this flower has a high antiseptic, the benefits of Marigols flowers or chicken dung flowers are:
- Can inhibit the growth of bacteria
- High Lutein
- Can be a mosquito repellent Accelerate the growth of wounds
- Good for liver health
- Can be used as a natural colorant
- Accelerate wound growth
- Has antioxidants.

And in some areas that I have encountered chicken dung flowers are deliberately planted around farmers' plants so that pests do not land on or enter people's agricultural land.
To accelerate the growth of wounds, the way to treat this plant is to take and squeeze a few leaves of chicken dung flowers and place them where they are swollen or bruised.
This flower really has a great benefit. Can it be found in other countries
