Violet

Viola odorata. N.O. Violaceae.

Habitat: Damp woods and other shady places.

Features ? This is, perhaps, best known of all wild plants, with its long-stalked, heart- shaped leaves, and delicate, characteristically-scented and coloured flowers.

Part used ? Leaves and flowers.

Action: Antiseptic and expectorant.

Remarkable claims have been made for violet leaves in the treatment of malignant tumours. The case of Lady Margaret Marsham, of Maidstone, was reported in the Daily Mail for November 14th, 1901. This lady, suffering from cancer of the throat, used an infusion, which was left to stand for twelve hours, of a handful of fresh violet leaves to a pint of

boiling water. After a fortnight of warm fomentations with this liquid the growth was said to have disappeared.

The same newspaper, under date March 18th, 1905, told its readers that violet leaves as a cure for cancer were advocated in the current issue of the Lancet, where a remarkable case was reported by Dr. William Gordon, M.D. Such accounts as these, although interesting, should be read with considerable reserve.... violet

Exophthalmus

Abnormal protrusion of the eyeballs. May be a symptom of hyperthryroid states. A rare cause is a tumour at back of the eye. Abnormal exposure of the white of the eye, with double vision. Treatment. The underlying condition should be treated – overactive thyroid. Many cases arise from infection.

“Internal remedies should be carefully selected, because each case is different,” writes Margaret Wilkenloh, MD, Chicago (Ellingwood). “The best remedies to my mind are Echinacea, Pulsatilla, Skullcap and Hawthorn.” These are available as herbs, tablets, powders, liquid extracts or tinctures. Specimen combination: Liquid extracts: Echinacea 2; Pulsatilla half; Skullcap 1; Hawthorn 1. Mix. One to two 5ml teaspoons in water thrice daily. ... exophthalmus
