Fringed Violet, also known by the common name Thysanotus tuberosus or the Czech name fringed violet, is a plant native to Australia. It is a low, perennial shrub that reaches a height of 10 to 50 cm. Its leaves are grey-green, herbaceous, about 2 mm wide and 10 to 30 cm long. The flowers are purple, three-flowered and appear at the end of the stem on tall peduncles. Each flower has three outer petals with deeply toothed margins, hence the English name Fringed Violet, which translates as fringed purple.
In traditional Australian medicine, this plant is used to treat wounds, burns and skin rashes. In modern times, Fringed Violet is mainly used in the cosmetic industry. It is included in various creams, gels, serums or balms designed for sensitive and irritated skin. These products boast of being able to regenerate the skin and help in healing scars. Furthermore, this plant is used in aroma therapy, where it is believed to have a positive effect on the emotional state of a person. The oils of the common reed are used for stress and tension relief and are popular ingredients in products for relaxation and meditation.
