Soft, graceful, and quietly powerful, Blue Violet is the herb of comfort and renewal.
Its heart-shaped leaves and delicate purple blossoms have been treasured for centuries for their ability to cool inflammation, purify the blood, and gently move the lymph.
The scent is faintly sweet and floral, carrying the essence of spring’s first bloom. In the apothecary, Blue Violet is used to ease tension in the body and mind — a soothing ally for the lungs, skin, and emotional heart.
As a cooling, cleansing tonic or tea:
Directions (Internal Use):
Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried leaf and flower in 8 oz of hot water for 10–15 minutes.
Drink up to 3 cups daily for gentle detox and calm.
Pairs beautifully with Calendula, Red Clover, or Burdock Root for skin-focused blends.
Affirmation:
“I release what burdens me and let peace bloom within.”
Our Blue Violet is sustainably hand-harvested in early spring, when its leaves and blooms are richest in volatile oils and nutrients.
They’re shade-dried to preserve their vivid green and purple hues, delicate fragrance, and gentle medicine.
Gentle doesn’t mean weak — and Blue Violet is proof.
It cools what’s inflamed, softens what’s tight, and heals what’s tender — in the body and in the spirit.
This humble flower is an herbal whisper of compassion, perfect for blends focused on detox, skin clarity, and emotional healing.
