This humble yet resilient flowering plant, belonging to the Lamiaceae family, has captivated botanists and naturalists for centuries. With its delicate purple blooms and heart-shaped leaves, Self-Heal was a beloved subject for Victorian botanical illustrators like Anne Pratt, as seen in this hand-colored wood engraving from 1887. Self-Heal's healing properties have been used traditionally for centuries, earning it names like "heart-of-the-earth" and "heal-all."
