We got some lemon balm in the garden which I love to make tea with in the evening. For more then 2000 years lemon balm has been cultivated as a medicinal plant. The official name of this plant is: Melissa Officinalis. Officinalis meaning it has medicinal use.
This plant grows very easy. I planted a small plant in spring and now its grown to a big plant. I can cut off every few weeks to make tea with. You can drink tea with only lemon balm or you can mix with other herbs. You can also use it in cooking: it has the smell and taste of lemon.
Lemon balm has following benefits:
- it's good for your mood
- it relieves stress and anxiety
- it helps with sleeping problems
- it helps with headache
- it helps with nausea
- wound healing
