Medicinal Minute with Ginger Webb
A note from Ginger:
Violet leaves are deeply nourishing, both salty and sweet tasting as an overnight or 4-hour infusion. Violet gently supports healthy lymphatic action, with a strong affinity for breast tissue. Infused in oil, they also make an excellent therapeutic breast massage oil.
