Sweet violet (flower) Organic - 25 gr

The Sweet violet, also known as Viola odorata, is a small but powerful spring flower and has a rich tradition in herbal medicine. The dried flowers are used primarily for their soothing effect on the respiratory tract, as well as for their calming effect on the nervous system. Sweet violet contains saponins, mucilages and essential oils, among others, that contribute to the mild but effective action of this delicate herb.

The sweet violet we offer grows wild, in its natural habitat. Its wild growth gives it an intense character and a particularly rich taste and aroma.

Sustainable packaging

Our herbs are packaged in resealable pouches that protect against light, air, and moisture, helping to preserve their aroma, quality, and properties as well as possible. The pouches are made of paper with a compostable protective layer and are industrially compostable. In many municipalities, they can be disposed of with organic waste. Home composting is also possible, although it may take a bit longer (about 1–2 years). More information about our packaging choice.
