life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all
the thousand small uncaring ways......Stephen Vincent Benet

 Lemon
Balm is best known for its calming properties, and has been used for centuries
as a mild form of drugs like Valium. This has been borne out by modern
science. It also appears to have properties that inhibit bacteria and
viruses. Stories abound about people who ingested Lemon Balm every day in
some fashion who lived to very advanced ages. Who knows how much the Lemon
Balm had to do with this, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to drink a glass of Tea
with breakfast each morning for a calm, soothing, healthful start to your
day. Lemon Balm taken in a tea has also historically known as a mildly
effective treatment for inducing sweating in fevers and for regulating
menses. The leaves can also be dried and pulverized into powder for
use in Capsules for when making a tea is not convenient. Please see the
link below on making herbal capsules for more information.
Because
of its antibacterial properties, Lemon Balm may be useful in cleaning sores,
scrapes, and cuts. Make an Ointment
for these purposes, and give it a try on insect bites and stings.
