Eyebright

Eyebright, in Swedish Ögontröst, is an appreciated herb whose name reveals much. The Latin name Euphrasia comes from the ancient Greek word Euphrosyne, who was one of the three daughters of the Greek god, Zeus. The plant has small purple or white flowers that bloom during late summer and autumn. It is found in nature in grassy meadows and pastures in Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and other countries in Europe.
