Lemon Balm
Melissa officinalis
Loved by bees, uplifting and also soothing to humans, especialy when anxiety takes physical manifestations such as ’butterflies’ and palpitations.
Anti-microbial specifically to Herpes, a virus that lurks within the nervous system.
The lemony tasting fresh leaves make a delicious tea that can be drunk hot, or cool and refreshing on a summers day. Can be added to salads or as a powder to a latte mix. To be drunk as freely as it is abundant in the garden.
