Lemon balm , do you know its benefits? If not, read further because they are pretty amazing. ☺️
Lemon balm is a plant that is used as an infusion / tea when you’re feeling exhausted and need a hug. Sometimes, we are so tired and feel like we will fall asleep the moment we sit down, but then can’t. Your mind keeps going, but you are restless, and just can’t settle down.
This is exactly when we turn to lemon balm. Lemon balm keeps care of us when we are exhausted, restless, and feeling low. It helps us feel safe and nurtured. Lemon balm helps us move into a state where we feel cared for.
This plant which actually is a part of the mint family, does not have the mint flavor, but a slightly lemony taste it pairs very well with chamomile or lavender.
This is not a plant that many people tend to go to, but in my opinion, they definitely should give it a try. Here are a few of its properties when used as a traditional herbal helper.
• Calms nervous tension and restlessness (especially when you’re overtired)
• Help you unwind and ease into sleep
• Soothe headaches and stomach upset associated with stress
• Lift the spirits when you’re feeling worn down
• Ease restlessness that can accompany illness
and bonus , has been used to help soothe and stave off cold sores when applied to the skin, particularly at the first sign of tingling
Especially helpful on the days when you’ve been looking after everything else and could use a little care yourself. 🩵
