RE: My Very Favorite Medicinal Herb and Some Thoughts About a Giveaway
I damn love lemon balm. Melissa Officinalis (probs not spelt right). She smells so heavenly. She cures my anxiety, depression, sickness. My favorite herb. I wish I had some, but I did not harvest enough this year and my inside plants are tiny. All Love for Lemon Balm!
Nope, you spelled it correctly! She DOES smell SO good! In the spring when I move my plant out into the sun, I set right at the edge of my porch, right next to where I sit in the morning so I can smell it!
I love the scent of dried lemon balm as well, its relaxing to burn like bay leaves, but smells better.
Oh yeah and lemon balm is the balm for anxiety and sadness. sesriously.
This post was specifically written for sinus and chest congestion relief, but it is SO useful. I don’t know how I could squeeze all of its medicinal, aromatic and culinary uses! One of us should do a lemon balm post series! :)
Oh yeah. Susan Weed has a blog talk radio thing on Youtube and she has an entire series on different mints! She is an encyclopedia of herb info.. Its by Time Monk Radio if you wanna check it out. Ill probs post more about medicinal herbs in the warmer months when im making and harvesting stuff :P
I look forward to your herb posts! Thanks for the info on Susan Weed. I'll check her out.
She is my all time favorite herbalist, and Yarrow Willard right after her.
