Viola odorata is a plant that first originated in Europe and Asia, but can now also be found in North America and Australia. It is also known by the name Garden Violet or Sweet Violet, because the plant blooms with sweet-smelling flowers. Some other common names the plant is known by include English Violet and Common Violet. The flowers are edible, and parts of the viola odorata plant are sometimes used as an herbal medicine to treat conditions such as a sore throat or respiratory congestion.
The sweet smell that comes from the flowers can be used to create beautiful scents and fragrances for perfumes. Although Viola odorata closely resembles other types of violet, there are several differences. Apart from the sweet smell, one of the differences includes the color of the flower which is white or dark purple. The leaves of the plant can be described as having an oval or heart-shaped appearance and the shoots of the plant grow on top of the soil. In ancient Greece, the violet was considered a symbol of love.
Viola odorata can often be seen growing in many different places, such as in gardens and around wooded areas. These plants prefer shade and moist soil. They are generally easy to grow. The flowers usually bloom in early spring and last for about two months.
In India, the plant is known by various herbal names, including Banafsa, Banafsha, or Banaksa. The herbal remedy is often used to treat people suffering from ailments such as tonsillitis or a sore throat. Some have used plant extracts as an anti-inflammatory gel or cream to reduce swelling and treat sores.
Viola odorata can also be made into an herbal tea that offers additional therapeutic uses. When a person drinks the herbal tea, they often break out in a sweat. The tea then works as an expectorant and is very useful for those with conditions such as bronchitis or a chest cold.
When an individual is suffering from a condition such as bronchitis, there is usually a significant amount of mucus buildup. However, after drinking the herbal tea, the phlegm loosens up so that the individual can begin to cough.
