Lemon Balm

Melissa officinalis

Loved by bees, uplifting for humans for whom it also sooths and ameliorates when anxiety takes such physical manifestations as butterflies and palpitations. 

Anti-microbial – specifically to herpes the 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.
