Lemon Balm Tea
A wonderful, immune-supporting drink with a rich aroma. Lemon balm tea tastes quite pleasant and is simple to make. I drink it only rarely, because it tends to lower blood pressure, and mine is already on the low side. Lemon balm (melissa) is sometimes called "lemon mint." It's most often grown in home gardens. It has plenty of beneficial properties and a very pleasant flavor. Among its benefits: it can stimulate the appetite, boost overall vitality, and sharpen the mind. Lemon balm is also said to help with high blood pressure, insomnia, and low mood. It can ease shortness of breath and soothe heart discomfort, and it helps you feel better when you're running a fever. That said, remember that — like any remedy — lemon balm should only be used for these purposes after talking to your doctor.
