Violet (referring to plants from the genus Viola, such as Viola odorata or sweet violet) has a history of use in traditional herbal medicine for various respiratory and chest-related complaints, including chest pain. In traditional European and Middle Eastern medicine, violet preparations (such as syrups, teas, and poultices) have been used to soothe coughs, bronchitis, pleurisy, and minor chest discomfort. These uses are typically based on the plant’s mild anti-inflammatory and demulcent (soothing) properties, as well as its purported ability to ease respiratory tract irritation. However, there is little to no robust scientific research specifically validating violet’s efficacy for chest pain in the modern clinical context. Most available studies focus on its mild expectorant and anti-inflammatory effects, not direct relief of chest pain, and are often small or preclinical. Therefore, while violet is traditionally used for chest complaints, the evidence supporting its benefit for chest pain is weak and primarily rooted in historical use rather than modern scientific validation.
