Viola odorata L., whole flowers, premium certified organic cultivation
History:
The fragrant violet is not only a beautiful and sweet-smelling (= odorata) spring flower with delicate blue-violet blossoms, it has also been used in natural medicine for centuries. Hippocrates, for example, used the power of violets to treat all kinds of ailments, including headaches, visual disturbances, and melancholy. In ancient times, the violet was even considered a sacred flower and was dedicated to the god Pan. Violet wreaths were also worn on the head in honor of Saturn. Other types of violets, such as the pansy (Viola tricolor), have also been used in folk medicine for centuries, but for different purposes. Occurrence: Of the 500 known species of violets, most thrive in the temperate zones of the earth. In hotter areas, however, they are more likely to be found in the mountains.
