This plant has been used in folk medicine for centuries, and remains commercially cultivated in the 21st century. It helps skin to heal. A common (and very effective) cure for sunburn is a lotion made by soaking the flowers in olive oil in a clear-glass bottle the sun during summer. When the oil turns blood-red it can be applied to sunburned skin. The sunburn turns to a tan in a few days.
