Prunella vulgaris is a creeping, herbaceous perennial found throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. A member of the mint family, heal-all yields small lance-like leaves and whirls of tiny, lipped, purple flowers. Also referred to as self all, the herb thrives in gardens and waysides and is often considered a weed. Fresh, the aerial portions are edible and can be eaten in salads and soups. Self heal has been employed as a spring tonic and general tonic herb in folk herbalism for generations. The dried herb can be macerated in vinegars, blended into nutritive herbal teas, or used in topical applications.
