Scientific Name: <\/strong>Viola odorata <\/em>in the Violaceae <\/em>family  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Origin:<\/strong> Europe and Asia <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description:<\/strong> Violets often have green heart-shaped petals but it could vary in shapes depending on the species. They typically have five purple and blue petals but they can also appear white or yellow (Gupta, 2024).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historical Medicinal Use:<\/strong> In Fouquet’s recipes, violet syrup is added to a mixture of almond oil and herbal tea and drank before going to bed to remedy a cold. Others discussed the violet having medicinal benefits such as being a laxative or helping inflammation of the urinary tract or hemorrhoids. It was also recommended to make a boiled infusion of violets with brandy to treat for laryngitis, bronchitis and tonsillitis.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern Medicinal Use: <\/strong>Doctors today have said that, internally, violets are recommended for broncho-pulmonary conditions such as a simple cough or bronchitis. It could also be used to appease symptoms of indigestion or mild poisoning. Externally, when diluted in a bath for example, it aids in reducing rheumatic pain as well as reducing insomnia or stress (Cardenas, 2017).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
