Lemon Balm Tincture (Melissa officinalis)

A lush, prolific herb in the mint family, lemon balm uplifts with a citrusy-mint aroma. A rich concentration of volatile oils and polyphenols make lemon balm a powerful antiviral. This herb is especially known to be effective against the herpes and shingles viruses.

Cooling and relaxing lemon balm is a mood-lifter, a mild sedative to help with insomnia caused by grief, heartache and depression, and overall a nervous and digestive soother with antispasmodic qualities. Warm lemon balm tea is safe for use to calm restless children.

Lemon balm is an herb of the Moon. Ally yourself with this plant for help attracting love and success. Use lemon balm in ritual washes and baths to invite healing.

The aerial parts of the lemon balm are harvested, cut and steeped in alcohol for at least 8 weeks, then strained and bottled.

Instructions: Place 1-3 dropperfuls of tincture in a small glass of water or directly under the tongue. Best taken between meals, take as needed. Consult with a trusted herbalist or physician if you are nursing, pregnant, or taking other medications.
