Bird's Eye Speedwell (Veronica persica or related Veronica species like chamaedrys) is used as an edible herb in salads and teas, valued in traditional medicine for its astringent, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties to treat respiratory issues (coughs, phlegm), digestive problems (bloating, poor digestion), skin ailments (eczema, HSV, wounds), and to support heart and immune health. Its high tannin content helps reduce inflammation, while vitamins and minerals nourish the body.
