Wonderful Health Benefits of Pansies and a Few Ways I Use Them
Pansies have a wealth of health and medicinal benefits that many
people who grow them for their beauty alone may have never heard of.
All aerial parts of the plants are edible and medicinal. I love the slight wintergreen taste the leaves and flowers (when the whole flower is eaten) have. The petals alone are rather bland but add an amazing pop of color to salads.
Here is a brief list of some of the medicinal benefits of the Pansy (Also known as Heartease):
It is an anti allergen and its mucilaginous properties mean it is very helpful for colds and flus as it soothes coughs and sore throats and is also helpful in treating fevers. It is also good for treating asthma, bronchitis, and even whooping cough.
Consuming fresh pansies or drinking infusions on a regular basis can help to lower blood pressure and prevent heart failure.
Its vulnerary actions make it great for skin with its anti aging properties and helps with disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and more.
I love making herbal teas, hot or iced, with pansies:
Because they are so good for the skin, hair and scalp, I like to use them in my homemade beauty products such as my soaps, shampoos, clay masks, and skin creams.
*Pansy Ylang Ylang Soap
*Pansy-Calendula-Marshmallow Infused Oil that I use in my homemade skin cream shown below. By the way, I do sell this all natural skin cream so if you are interested, you can contact me at raincountryhomestead@gmail.com
I also add them to my homemade floral vinegar, along with rose petals and lavender or calendula flowers, that I use as my regular hair wash. I have more recently found the floral vinegar also works great for cleaning anything you would use plain white vinegar for but smells much nicer.
*Rose-Pansy-Lavender Vinegar
I have even started adding them to stir fries, breads, and various other dishes when I think of it.
So if you like to garden and are into an edible and medicinal landscape, do not overlook the pansy. It adds so much beauty and draws in your beneficial insects and birds.
One last note is that the wild pansy (also known as Johnny Jump Ups) are higher in medicinal properties than the larger, cultivated pansies. I grow and use both kinds myself.
If you are growing them already, then I hope you find this helpful in learning how to make the most out of those lovely plants.
Here is a video I did this past spring about Pansies:

I love Pansies and Johnny Jump ups and have grown them for years. We eat in salads and I use them to decorate cakes and in my Spring Violet Bread. I will make some of this skin cream and vinegar for hair rinse. I use apple cider vinegar now to rinse my hair but how pretty your rose, pansy and lavender vinegar is! Thanks!

I was infected with Genital Herpes Virus six months ago, ever since then i have been searching for cure everywhere because i was feeling so uncomfortable with it. I have been dating for almost 5 years until i contracted Genital Herpes from my ex-boyfriend. Since then i became very sad about the whole situation, always going online checking if i could get a cure to Genital Herpes, then i came across so many testimonies. Due to my seriousness and eagerness to be completely cured, i became a victim of fraud after contacting several so-called herbal doctors i was referred to. I lost a lot of money but i didn't stop searching for a cure. Then one faithful day, i came across a testimony of a lady saying that she got her Genital herpes cured by a Great Herbal Doctor she called Dr Ogudugu by contacting him through his email address. And she advised anyone with Genital Herpes or Simplex Herpes to contact the herbal doctor for Herbal Cure. I contemplated for about 4 hours whether or not to contact him. then something inside of me told me 'Nothing good comes easy'. I then contacted him through his email and told him my problem. He told me all the things I needed to do and also gave me instructions to follow, which i did properly. Just within weeks of drinking and applying the herbal medication he sent to me through dhl delivery service, i started seeing changes, i went to my medical doctor for check-up, i was so happy when the doctor told me i was no more having Genital Herpes Virus, it was all tears of Joy from that moment, People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation herpes has a long term effects on health and if i could ever meet a Genuinely Great Herbal Doctor. I'm so grateful to him. i am completely free from Genital Herpes Virus, i introduced a family friend who have Simplex Herpes virus to him, He called me and told me he was also cure completely. I promised to share my own testimony like that of the lady on the internet. Friends, if you are also struggling with Herpes disease you can as well Contact him via Email: greatogudugu@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI want to give thanks to Dr Ogaga for bringing back my ex husband. No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Trust is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person, It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles, I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn't face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he brake up with me again. I was confuse and do not no what to do again, rather them to get in contact with Dr Ogaga . He did a love spell that make my husband come back to me. we are now very much happy with our self. Dr Ogaga make him to realize how much we love and need each other. This man is for REAL and for good, he can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very, very well, in our love life. Contact Dr Ogaga

We are absolutely head over heels in love with Cecily, and parenthood is already the most insane and beautiful thing in existence, It's made me excited to have a little spitfire of a daughter of my own.

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
ReplyDeleteAt first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his
