Herb of the Month: Lemon Balm

Much loved as a lemon-scented infusion that ‘makes the heart merry’, lemon balm’s soothing qualities quieten the heart and an overactive mind.

Valuable in situations where long-term anxiety edges into depression, lemon balm is known to inhibit thyroid function and makes a useful remedy for a slightly overactive thyroid gland.

Key Actions : Anti-depressant

Lemon balm is a relaxing tonic for anxiety, mild depression, restlessness and insomnia. It reduces feelings of panic and is a valuable remedy for palpitations of a nervous origin. For all such conditions, take as an infusion (make it into a tea) 2-3 times a day.

    Thats a great tip about lemon balm Tom. I know a little about it already because I work here but never knew that it was good for a slightly overactive thyroid. I am just discovering my own thyroid may be slightly overactive so until I know more I will try the lemon balm cure! Thanks a lot.
