Conditions Treated Using Heartsease:
Name: Heartsease
Other Names: Violets, Viola tricolor, Wild Pansy, Johny Jump Up, Viola
Description:
Hearstease (Viola tricolor) is a small, beautiful wild flower, which can be easily found in short grassland and forests, often in partially shaded places. Hearstease has small, distinctive flowers, usually purple, violet, blue yellow or white. The most common ones are violet and white with a delicate yellow markings, but when I've started to collect them into my herbarium, I found over 30 types of flowers, so don't be surprised when you will find a hearstease with orange or almost green flowers.
Heartsease is an ancestor of garden pansy, and when you want to cultivate it in your garden, you must support it with acid or neutral soils and a bit of shade. I always plant it near wild strawberry, they perfectly fit each other.
Heartsease id used to treat asthma, bronchitis, skin diseases and eczema. It is also mild diuretic and laxative.
Viola, commonly called Violets, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Violaceae, with around 400-500 species distributed around the world. Most species are found in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, however viola species are also found in widely divergent areas such as Hawaii, Australasia, and the Andes in South America.
Flower colours vary in the genus, ranging from violet, as their common name suggests, through various shades of blue, yellow, white, and cream, whilst some types are bicolored, often blue and yellow. Many cultivars and hybrids have been bred in a greater spectrum of colours. Flowering is often profuse, and may last for much of the spring and summer.
The flowers, leaves and roots of various Viola species are used for medicinal purposes, being rich in vitamins A and C. They also contain a type of antioxidant called an anthocyanin. Viola flowers are also used to make an herbal tea that is used in Chinese herbal medicine.
