🍋✨ Lemon Balm Tea: A Cup of Calm, Naturally

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is one of those ancient, gentle powerhouses we often overlook.
This sweet, citrusy herb is known to:

• Soothe anxiety

• Support cognition and mental clarity

• Calm irregular heartbeat

• Ease pain and tension

• Assist gentle weight loss and digestion

If your nervous system is feeling a little crispy or your thoughts are on a loop—lemon balm is your botanical bestie.

And honestly? Nothing beats the taste and energy of a cup brewed with fresh, clean, chemical-free herbs.
(Am I the only one who thinks most commercial blends taste like scented cardboard?)

Let’s brew something better.
