53. Little Herb Saver: Part 2 Lemon Balm Monograph An Herbal Diary
-
- Alternative Health
The Little Herb Saver:
Lemon balm is like a blanket of peace, calming a nervous stomach, reducing anxiety, elevating a gloomy feeling, and providing relief for sleepless nights. That’s a lot, but that’s also not all.
Lemon balm is easy to grow, lovely to eat or drink as tea, powerful in its own right but not in a way that lends caution to using it. To get more lemon balm into our lives, can only be a good thing. And this is why I deem it a little herbal saver.
Thank you for joining me for this part 2 lemon balm monograph. (Episode 52 is part 1)
