Herbal Series • Violet (Viola Odorata)
A wonderful herbal ally for gently healing tumors and fibroadenomas.
I discovered violet during a session with the magical curandera (a healer who uses folk remedies) Chloe Garcia Ponce in NYC last fall. After sharing my health struggles she suggested I start using violet both as an infusion and topically as an infused oil. I sighed a huge sigh of relief. Finally I had found a herbal ally for gently healing tumors and fibroadenomas. I’ve been using violet on an almost daily basis since Oct 2017 and have seen great results. Now, I’m doing a number of things so it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly’s working, but nonetheless, I’m experiencing tremendous healing in my breast tissue.
