Empirical medicine - Pansy herb has been used medicinally since at least the Middle Ages. It was at times considered a key children's medicinal plant and was used for skin rashes, coughs and seizures. - Today, it is traditionally used mainly for the external treatment of a number of skin diseases (various exanthems, eczema, acne, seborrhoeic dermatitis, cradle cap, napkin dermatitis) as well as for itching as washes or compresses. - In folk medicine it was used for colds and other upper respiratory tract complaints (e.g. cough). There are also reports of its use for rheumatic complaints and urinary tract problems. In the past, it was used as an ingredient in metabolic teas or so-called blood purification teas. It was said to have mild laxative, diuretic and diaphoretic effects.
