Wounds fail to heal by first intention from impaired nutrition; in fractures it promotes formation of callus; the place on an old injury becomes the seat of new affections.

Calendula Calen

Incised and lacerated wounds; bloody and serous infiltrations of cellular tissue in open wounds and ulcers; suggillations.
