Lemon Balm
A calming herb that is useful for nervous stomachs, colic, heart spasms, relieving colds, flus, and fevers, plus a powerful antiviral, and soothing & uplifting tea for nervous tension, anxiety and depression.
I have been purchasing your products for quite a while now, l fully intend to always buy your amazing herbs as l absolutely love all the varieties you offer and label what the usage is for each herb which makes it so much easier to understand each herb type, very grateful for finding your site. Thank you.
This has been so helpful for my anxiety. Thank you so much. 🖤
Perfect herb to add to any herbal tea mix.
Nice sweet citrus flavor and smell.
Stopped my tremors completely which were caused by PTSD, highly recommend to reduce tension and stress in the body, worked better than anything doctors had prescribed for this issue. Worked great to calm and prevent panic attacks, supports sleep and tastes super yummy.
If you're holding tension in the body, are jumpy, on edge or feeling overwhelmed / overstimulated this tea is perfect for you.
This is great to hear. I have always used Lemon balm with my children so its awesome to hear such a sold review for PTSD. So glad it helped, this is why Happy Herb Co exists. Thanks Laura
Very relaxing 😌
