Description

It has heart-shaped kidney leaves that are also heavily serrated and placed on short stalks. In the foliage we find blue-purple flowers consisting of two lips. The upper one is flat and the lower one is three-part. The flowers are also hairy. It is widespread among shrubs and in forests, on clearings and meadows, as well as on ruins from the lowlands to the Montana belt. It was sometimes added to beer for bitterness. It has also been used in general medicine to beat fever.
