Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is abundant around the Pacific Northwest right now.
This calming plant is a member of the mint family and has been used back as far as the Middle ages to promote sleep and ease anxiety.
Other Uses:
Nervine
Hypnotic
Carminative
Spasmolytic
Lemon balm does far more than just aid in stress reduction-it can also ease pain and support digestion.
Newer evidence also reveals that this sweet-smelling plant can even improve cognitive function. I definitely need a little stress reduction and improved memory today!
