Violets — wildcrafted in the spring from the Catskill Mountains — are gentle allies for body and heart. Traditionally used as a mild lymphatic support, the whole plant (leaves, flowers, and young tops) helps encourage healthy lymph flow and may assist the body’s natural cleansing processes. Their cool, demulcent qualities also soothe irritated mucous membranes, making them a comforting herbal option during seasonal transitions.
On an emotional level, violets are often chosen for their tender, consoling energy. They are associated with gentle grief work: supporting quiet reflection, acceptance, and the soft release of sorrow rather than forcing quick resolution. Prepared as a tincture, infused oil, or a calming tea, violets can be integrated into a ritual of remembrance or daily practices aimed at emotional slowing and self-compassion.
Violets offer a soft, restorative presence — a modest plant ally to support the body’s cleansing channels and to hold space for grief’s quiet work.
