Lemon Balm

Wildcrafted

Lemon Balm (Melissa Officinalis) is anti-viral, so the tea is great to drink if you're feeling under the weather. The hot tea brings on a sweat that is good for relieving colds, flus and fevers and an anti-viral agent has been found that combats mumps, cold sores and other viruses.

Lemon Balm can help with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Shingles, due to the anti-viral action.

One of Lemon Balm's key medicinal qualities is as a tranquilizer. It calms a nervous stomach, colic, or heart spasms. The leaves are reputed to also lower blood pressure.

It is very gentle, although effective, so is often suggested for children and babies.

Dosage

30-60 drops 2-3x daily.
