Lemon Balm Tea

About this product

The lemon balm plant originated in southern Europe and is now found throughout the world. The lemony smell and pretty white flowers of the plant have led to its widespread cultivation in gardens. The leaves, stems, and flowers of lemon balm are used medicinally. The terpenes, part of the pleasant smelling volatile oil from lemon balm, are thought to produce this herb’s relaxing and wind-relieving (carminative) effects. Flavonoids, phenolic acids, and other compounds appear to be responsible for lemon balm’s anti-herpes and thyroid-regulating actions.
