  • Botanical note — Genda is Tagetes erecta (Asteraceae). Note our Zafri attar (1661) also references marigold but lists Calendula officinalis; the two are different genera.
  • Claims note — The source claimed it dispels stress, exhaustion, anxiety and depression; these are not established and have been omitted.
  • Attar note — An attar (ittar) is a traditional alcohol-free, oil-based perfume, hydro-distilled in copper degs by the age-old deg-bhapka method and received into a natural base, classically pure sandalwood oil.
  • Use / evidence note — Uses are traditional and for fragrance, ritual and wellbeing; they are not medical claims.
