Calming DIY Lemon Balm Tincture
Lemon Balm is the CEO’s Nervous System Whisperer
Hello, Beautiful Woman of Power,
You can run empires and still feel your tummy flutter with nerves before a pitch or parent-teacher meeting.
You can mentor teams and still need a quiet moment to yourself in the pantry.
You can be a mother, mogul, mystic—and still crave calm in the chaos.
That’s where Lemon Balm enters like a soft-spoken elder who knows exactly what to say.
🌿 Mystic, Mender, Nervous System Whisperer
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is no ordinary herb—it’s a plant ancestor with a résumé.
Used since the Middle Ages to soothe anxiety, comfort digestion, promote deep rest, and sweeten mood, she’s the kind of remedy that doesn’t shout—she sings softly to your nervous system:
“Baby, it’s safe to exhale now.”
Yes, she’s from the mint family.
But unlike her cool-headed cousins, lemon balm brings warmth, heart, and sacred ease—especially to women who carry too much and rest too little.
✨ CEO Medicine in a Drop: Your Lemon Balm Tincture
When I say this recipe is simple, I mean it.
When I say it’s sacred, I mean that even more.
This is medicine that remembers who you are—and reminds your body to do the same.
Lemon Balm Tincture Recipe
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Infusion Time: 42+ days
Doses: About 150 soul-soothing drops
You’ll need:
2 cups fresh lemon balm, roughly chopped
1½ cups 80-proof vodka (or glycerin for an alcohol-free version)
1 pint mason jar
Cheesecloth + fine mesh strainer
Dropper bottles for your finished magic
Instructions:
Roughly chop your lemon balm. This is where you whisper an intention. Something like:
“May this medicine regulate what’s wild and restore what’s wise.”Place the herb into your jar, pressing it down gently.
Pour vodka to cover the herb. (Yes, some will float—it’s part of the beauty.)
Cap the jar. Tuck it in a dark, cool cabinet. Shake it gently each day for the first week—like a ritual of reconnection.
Let it infuse for 4–6 weeks (or more—time only strengthens her wisdom).
Strain with cheesecloth. Bottle the liquid sunlight in dropper bottles.
Label. Bless. Take 1–3 droppers before meals or during high-stress moments.
🌙 Why It Matters
Because you’re not here to hustle through life ungrounded.
You’re here to lead with both your fire and your softness.
You’re here to build legacies and still sleep well at night.
You’re here to remember that true power doesn't always roar—sometimes, it rests.
Lemon balm is your plant partner in that remembering.
🌀 Final Blessing
To the woman who gives and builds and births…
Let this be your reminder:
You get to be the healer and the held.
You get to sip sunlight.
You get to feel safe in your body.
Now go.
Chop your lemon balm.
Whisper your spell.
Make your tincture.
And let this be the moment you reclaim your softest self as your strongest power.
