Periwinkle

Periwinkle is one of my favorite little sprawling plants. It is an herb which was in regular use in Love Potions during the fifteenth century and has continued folk and medicinal use. It has vasodilating, blood thinning, and memory-enhancing actions. This sweet little plant contains a major alkaloid known as vincamine which has been shown in double-bind studies to help alleviate a type of dementia known as vascular dementia.
