Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is a wonderful herb for the entire family.
Lemon Balm is a cooling nervine with a delightful lemony smell and deliciously lemon-like flavor.
Lemon balm is an adaptogen. It is calming, uplifting, and tones and restores the nervous system as a trophorestorative. It may be particularly indicated for those who tend toward anxiety and nervousness. Esteemed herbalist Rosemary Gladstar tells us that lemon balm is “one of nature’s best nervine herbs” (Gladstar 2001).
Lemon balm is also a potent antiviral and can be of great help during viral illnesses, such as colds, flu, and even during a shingles outbreak. It can assist the body in fighting infection, while easing the discomfort and restlessness that can sometimes accompany illness.
