Lemon Balm
A lemon-scented mint-family plant for a nervous stomach and a mind that will not sit down. Gentle, spreading, and easy to grow.
This prototype offers educational plant guidance only and does not replace medical care. Check with a qualified professional before using herbs or supplements, especially if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a chronic condition, or are choosing something for a child or pet.
Benefits and traditional uses
- Calming tea for stress
- Traditional digestive after meals
- Lemon aroma in the garden
Mediterranean and later European herbalism used lemon balm as a gladdening tea — nerves, sleep, and a taut digestive tract.
Precautions
- May increase drowsiness with other calming herbs or medicines.
- Thyroid conditions: ask a clinician before daily use.
Prepare
Fresh or dried leaf as tea, covered so the aroma stays in the cup. A strong cup is still a tea.
Dosage
Dosage is not provided in this prototype. A later sourced record can sit here. Do not treat any number on this site as a prescription.
Grow
Moist soil, a little shade, and a pot if you do not want it everywhere. Mint-family spreader.
