EFFECTS
Lemon balm is a common garden herb with a pleasing flavour, and is gentle enough for children. It is useful for colds and flus, as it calms the body, is antiviral and helps sweat out a fever. It can help settle an upset stomach and dispel gas. Lemon balm makes a soothing tea for nervous tension, anxiety and depression. Recently it has been found to be very effective in treating symptoms of herpes simplex, when used topically as an ointment, wash or poultice of fresh leaves.

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
