My own lemon balm is self seeding everywhere and growing big as we speak. I hate drying it as it never retains that fresh taste and smell but yes... Quick is better. I use it in a sleepy tea.

It is also good for herpes!!! Jamie gets it on his hands when he is stressed and it HURTS. So I made him a salve and it does work! It soothes and it doesn't last as long. Also works with coldsores!

A lovely post. Enjoyed muchly and am excited about the herbal hive being revived!
