Lemon balm or bee balm is an absolute delight! I grow it on my front porch and its the perfect herbal tea. The plant contains citral, citronellal, geranial essential oils and is rich with Vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, resins, and flavonoids.
It’s health benefits are numerous!
InĀ this study, researchers found that lemon balm is a nervine agent and helps the body overcome stress. It supports and soothes the nervous system and enhances the production of Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that slows down the brain by blocking signals in the central nervous system – leading to increased cognitive function, a sense of calm and an uplifting mood.
The health of your cell walls are fortified by lemon balm tea and it improves you overall health sleep quality.
Bottoms up!
