Violet
Viola odorata
MEDICINAL: Violet is effective in healing internal ulcers. It is used both internally and externally for
pimples, abscesses, tumors, and swollen glands. It is useful in treating malignant growths as well. Native
Americans soaked corn seed in an infusion of yellow violet to prevent insects from eating the seeds.
RELIGIOUS: Violet in a pillow will help ease headaches away. Carrying the flowers brings a change in
luck, and mixed with lavendar makes a powerful love sachet.
GROWING: Violets are a perennial, prefer partial shade, average to rich well-drained soil, and grow
to 8 inches tall.
