Rating (out of 5): 1

Violet (commonly referring to Viola odorata or related species) has been used in various traditional medicine systems, including European herbalism, Unani, and some forms of Ayurveda. Traditional herbal texts sometimes recommend violet as a gentle remedy for emotional imbalances, including irritability and anger, often in the context of "cooling" the temperament or soothing the nerves. The flowers and leaves have been prepared in teas, syrups, and infusions for this purpose. However, the evidence from historical texts is largely anecdotal and based on humoral theory (the idea of balancing bodily fluids and qualities), rather than clinical study or modern understanding of psychology.

There is no robust scientific evidence to validate the use of violet for excessive anger or mood regulation. No clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly support its efficacy for this indication. While violet is known to contain compounds with mild sedative and anti-inflammatory properties, these have not been specifically linked to the management of anger or emotional dysregulation in modern research. As such, its use for anger is primarily justified by tradition, with a low level of supporting evidence.
