1.1K views · 190 reactions | I love the folklore around Speedwell . Its name may come from the Latin term ‘chamaedrys’ or the Greek word ‘chamai,’ meaning ‘on the ground.’ Legend has it that picking its flowers would lead to having your eyes pecked out by birds or, in some places, your mother’s eyes! And is sometimes called Birds Eye speedwell. It has also been treasured by travellers for generations. In Ireland, it was sewn into clothes as a good luck charm. Speedwell is also associated with farewells as its petals quickly fall off and fly away with the wind. Symbolising loyalty, compassion, healing, and recovery in the language of flowers, Speedwell is said to raise moods and bring hope with its bright and cheery appearance. It may also have a connection to Saint Veronica, who risked her own safety to wipe Jesus’ face on the route to Calvary. Folk medicine has used Speedwell as a tea for recovery from coughs, a mild nerve sedative, and for treating eye ailments. However, as always please conduct further research before consuming any plant for medicinal purposes.
