Description: Prunella vulgaris Flowers colour Violet/purple calyx, Likes Sun but will tolerate semi-shade. Part of the mint family (Lamiaceae), self heal (or all-heal and heal-all) has long been used for its medicinal qualities – the leaves are reputed to heal wounds when applied to them. The plant has many other names too, including blue curls, blue Lucy and thimble flower. Self-heal contains chemicals that act as antioxidants. Other chemicals called tannins might help reduce skin swelling (inflammation). In the garden, self heal can be grown as part of a wildflower patch or wildflower lawn, at the front of a border, or used as ground cover. It self-seeds easily so if not deadheaded, it will spread. The flowers are extremely attractive to bees and other insects. Grow self heal in moist but well-drained soil, in sun or partial shade. It does best when surrounded by other low-growing plants and grows extremely well in lawns. Ensure that it's not smothered by taller plants, cutting them back at the end of the season. Deadhead after flowering if you want to stop self heal spreading – it self-seeds readily. Self-heal has a mildly bitter taste and is cooling and drying to the body. On the physical body it acts as an astringent, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, mild antiseptic, detoxifier, diuretic, hemostatic and vulnerary (a substance used to help heal external wounds). Self Heal can draw out infection, such as in an abcess, and is very beneficial in stimulating the healing of wounds, burns, and ulcers (including internally). Self Heal also has styptic actions, staunching the flow of blood. One of the health benefits of the self heal herb is how wonderfully it can heal wounds and protect the skin. The herbal term for this is a vulnerary herb. Self-heal can be used for a variety of minor injuries to the skin, including scrapes, cuts, and burns. FREE shipping, NO Tracking.

Please consult with your doctor or professional herbalist prior any use of this herb/plant. *SEEDS DISCLAIMER* Most specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate. Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times, it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or soil/water/lighting.
