Why We Love It
Lemon Balm is a calming herb that helps with relaxation and digestion, making it a staple for wellness. Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), is another member of the beloved mint family. Its been used by many cultures for many centuries to help alleviate stress and anxious feelings, to promote restful sleep, to aid in digestive comfort and ease pain and discomfort from indigestion (including gas and bloating, as well as colic).  Lemon balm contains rosmarinic acid, a compound that appears to have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Antioxidants play an important role in helping to prevent cell damage, while antimicrobials kill infection-causing organisms like bacteria and viruses. It can be used topically to help heal wounds. For cold sores or herpes sores, insect bites and stings - steep 2 to 4 tsp. of crushed leaf in 1 cup boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool. Apply tea with cotton balls to the affected areas throughout the day.
