Violet Leaf & Flower Tincture
Crafted from fresh Viola sororia leaves and flowers, handpicked at the woodland’s edge right here on our Farm, this Violet tincture captures the delicate yet powerful essence of early Spring. These wild Violets are lovingly gathered when their vibrant purple blooms first appear—symbols of renewal, softness, and deep-rooted resilience.
Violet is a unique and beautiful medicine: a gentle lymphatic mover, respiratory soother, and emotional heart ally. Its cool, moist energy offers relief in times of inflammation, grief, or stagnation—both physical and emotional.
