Viola odorata, also known as Violet, is a homoeopathic medicine derived from the sweet violet plant. It exerts a marked influence on the ear, eyes, upper respiratory tract, and nervous system. Belonging from Violaceae family, this medicine is particularly indicated in cases involving right-sided rheumatism, visual disturbances, and conditions affecting children, especially those with nervous temperaments. It is also locally beneficial for pain associated with uterine fibroids, traditionally used against snake bites and bee stings, and helpful in treating worm infestations in children.
