Melissa (Lemonbalm)

Lemonbalm or Melissa has traditionally been used as a gentle nervine and in baths to support healthy skin. It is often used to promote a sense of calm and can be brewed into a citrusy lemon balm tea, incorporated into other herbal tea blends, and included in body care recipes.

 

Melissa leaves are great in tea to help relieve gas, indigestion and discomfort, but also is useful to calm the nerves and lessen anxious tendencies if they are playing a roll on the digestive tract. This is a great plant for use for those who suffer from irritable bowel and stress-induced indigestion.
