LEMON BALM
Melissa Officinalis
 
Lemon balm is one of our favorite aromatic herbs we grow on the farm!  She has a sweet, citrusty flavor that is captured so well in this glycerite.  Neatly summarized, lemon balm is a relaxing, nerve tonic  that raises the spirts and comforts the heart. Herbalists often refer to tonics as herbs that are  taken over a period of time to restore, tone and invigorate systems in the body or to promote general health and well-being. Lemon balm may be useful when anxiety is causing digestive problems such as indigestion, acidity, and bloating.  We love adding the glycerite to sparkling water and it's a favorite among kids!
