Lemon Balm: Calm & Strong

A calming nervine, nourishing to the nervous system, and strengthening to digestion and the overall immune system.

What is Lemon Balm?

Lemon balm is a perennial plant in the Lamiaceae family, botanical name Melissa officinalis. It grows freely in sandy, loamy soils and in the woods of Europe, Britain, North Africa, Western Asia and across the United States. It produces a beautiful, white, two-petal flower during the summer months. 

Lemon balm has anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-depressant, anti-oxidant, neuro-protective, radio-protective, hypotensive, and anti-spasm properties. It's a nervine which means it nourishes the nervous system, and over time, naturally calms and grounds those who consume it.
