The periwinkle plant (Vinca), often overlooked, is more than just an ornamental addition to gardens. Historically, it was used
by ancient cultures for medicinal purposes and in magic rituals. Botanically, it thrives in various climates with glossy leaves
and star-shaped flowers, serving as an effective ground cover. Periwinkle contains alkaloids like vincamine and vincristine,
which improve cognitive function and are used in cancer treatment. It also has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant
properties. Commonly used to treat memory issues, high blood pressure, and diabetes, it can be consumed as dried herbs, tinctures,
or extracts.However, overconsumption can cause side effects like nausea, and pregnant women should avoid it. Always consult a healthcare
provider before using it. Periwinkle, with its rich history and medicinal benefits, remains a valuable plant in both traditional and modern medicine
