Violet Leaf Cut (Viola Arvensis)

Violet Leaf Cut (Viola arvensis) is the dried and cut foliage of the field pansy, a delicate wild violet traditionally valued in European and Western herbalism for its cooling, soothing, and cleansing properties. Closely related to Viola odorata, this species has long been used as a gentle remedy for the respiratory system, skin health, and detoxification support.

Traditionally, violet leaf has been prepared as a tea, syrup, or poultice to ease dry coughs, hoarseness, and mild bronchial irritation, thanks to its natural mucilage content that coats and soothes irritated tissues. It is also employed as a skin-cleansing herb for eczema, rashes, acne, and minor inflammations, often applied externally as washes or compresses. Its mild expectorant and lymphatic qualities further support the body’s natural elimination of waste and toxins.

In addition to its cooling and demulcent actions, violet leaf is considered a gentle nutritive herb, containing trace minerals and antioxidant compounds that make it useful in restorative tonics. Its subtle flavor blends easily with other herbs, allowing it to be included in both detoxifying blends and respiratory teas without overpowering taste.

Each batch of Violet Leaf Cut (Viola arvensis) is carefully harvested and dried to preserve its delicate character and healing potential. Whether used in teas, herbal baths, poultices, or as part of cleansing and respiratory formulas, violet leaf offers a soft yet effective approach to calming irritation, supporting detoxification, and nourishing the body.
