I have purchased Lemon Palm and Spearmint herbs for 35 cent each. I planted these herbs in a pots and placed them on my lania ( porch). I am enjoying the Lemon Palm and Spearmint tea. After drinking the tea, I get so relax and sleepy.😊😊
I love my Lemon Balm Robyn, and once you have it in your garden and it goes to seed - you'll always have it !! It spreads like crazy once the wind blows the little seeds everywhere. There is also a Lime Balm (very similar) which also makes delicious tea xx Cathi xx
I’ve read the following..... “Lemon balm is an amazing herb for tonsillitis, which is inflammation caused by strep bacteria. Lemon balm detoxifies the liver, spleen, and kidneys, and helps reduce bladder inflammation, which makes it a star for helping to alleviate interstitial cystitis and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Furthermore..... “Test-tube research has shown that it has antiviral effects against avian influenza (bird flu), herpes viruses, HIV-1, and enterovirus 71, which can cause severe infections in infants and children.” This herb is quite the going concern.
I started on lemon balm tea bags 4 days ago as I was waiting for my lemon balm plants to arrive. From the very first night I got more rest because my every 3 hour trip to the bathroom though the night slowed down. Once my plants arrived yesterday I pulled off a couple of leaves and shoved them in my water bottle mixture that I constantly sip out of. That mixture is ginger root, fresh squeezed lemon and cinnamon sticks. Love the added mint flavor the lemon balm gave. Thanks for sharing these added benefits that other people aren't aware of and sharing.
Thanks for the info! I have had many encounters with the benefits of lemon balm. The first time that I saw its miraculous results was about 15 years ago when my daughter was feeling really sick after eating ham that wasn't totally fresh and she was on her way to the hospital. I went to meet her and on my way I purchased a small bottle of water and a Melissa tea pouch at a cafe. I placed the pouch inside the water and brought it to my daughter... about fifteen minutes later when I arrived my daughter was pale and yellowish feeling the digestive discomfort typical of food poisoning, she started drinking the cold tea from the bottle and once she was finished she was feeling 100% better. Before my intervention she was headed for the hospital where she would have been left to wait until a doctor would attend to her and probably bombard her with all kinds of medication. I have used and abused of lemon balm since then as it grows in my property. Last night after having eaten way too many Star cookies which immediately made my stomach feel bloated, I went to bed feeling quite uncomfortable and soon after I had to get up feeling quite miserable which led me to the bathroom with chills. I picked some fresh Melissa threw it into a large cup of boiled water and started drinking it after letting it steep for 5 minutes. After half a cup of tea my total discomfort started to fade and several sips later I was back to my normal self! This is absolutely true, I recommend this plant to everyone. I usually chop up a few bits of the plant which I add to my salads! It's a godsend!
Thanks for the info, I live in the US in georgia and I love Lemon balm. I plant it all over my house, I crave it and eat it almost everyday. I really want to grow in the winter. It seems to do best in spring and summer if we get enough rain. I never tried to make tea , I don't know why it has a affect on me, but it calms me so much.
Hi Robyn, Thanks for talking about why you grow what you do and how you use it. I will ask around to see if I can get some cuttings to propagate now rather than buying. Thanks for the tip. I would love to see more about uses and propagation.
Thanks so much for taking the time to check the video out :) the cuttings I took the other week in this video are doing great so now is definitely a good time to see if you can get some cuttings :)
Hey Robyn, thanks for the info. You mentioned that it's been used since the 1400s--wanted to let you know that Lemon Balm was actually commonly known to the Ancient Greeks and Romans as well, over 2000 years ago. :)
Waaww! Thanks for sharing l think this will help me in my project to propagate lemon balm for essential oils. thanks you beautiful Angel. Greetings from Cameroon
G'day Robyn, I love lemon balm I use it as a tea. Congratulations 🎉 on getting to 300 subscribers. Have a great weekend stay safe and God bless you guys.
Could you please advise (or make a video) on drying lemon balm for tea when it is not available fresh? I also live in Queensland and the humidity might be an issue when drying herbs. Thank you.
Amazing, cut to the chase content! Thank you so much for posting I'm planning on getting my first pit tomorrow in shaa Allah! Haha wish me luck so they won't die
We live in USA, Florida. Hot, jungle-like. It's turning brown at the BASE, do you know what's happening? I just now sprayed Neem oil on it, and watered it.
This thing really can help with anxiety problems. It's actually better than clonazepam or at least can help to reduce significantly the need of drugs like that.
Thank you for this vid! I am loving lemon balm... and this will be the first year I will have it in a container. Do you know how much sand to mix in with the potting soil? I also love your little tea pot! would you mind sharing a link for it?
Thank you for sharing this information. Summerville, South Carolina, USA.
I hadn't thought of adding lemon balm to smoothies. Great suggestion!
Your cat breathing in the tea steam was a perfect shot lol
Thanks for propagation tip.😊

It’s such a great plant! I’ll definitely have to try Lime Balm - that sounds amazing ☺️ thanks for watching xx
Adding herbs to the bath is a brilliant idea. Thank you!

Lemon balm is a mild sedative. It also has other properties.
Good video! I was hoping to find the recommended seed sprouting temp, but so far, no video has covered it lol
Thanks for sharing.

Oh awesome!! So amazing!
Thank you.
Hmmm. Lemon balm in smoothies. I am going to try that and I'm going to make some lemon balm tea. Have you tried make a lemonade with this?
Great video. Thank you!
👍💐
Waaww! Thanks for sharing l think this will help me in my project to propagate lemon balm for essential oils.
thanks you beautiful Angel. Greetings from Cameroon
Have you tried the essential oil. Have you also tried growing stinging Nettle?
G'day Robyn, I love lemon balm I use it as a tea. Congratulations 🎉 on getting to 300 subscribers. Have a great weekend stay safe and God bless you guys.
Hey Josh! I agree - It's such a great tea addition! And thank you!! Hoping the videos are still interesting to watch! Have a great weekend too :)
@@thenaturepatch yes the videos are still very interesting 👍
Any tips on growing lemon balm by seed?
Could you please advise (or make a video) on drying lemon balm for tea when it is not available fresh? I also live in Queensland and the humidity might be an issue when drying herbs. Thank you.
Can this plant grow in a grow bag? Great video. Thank you.
Amazing, cut to the chase content! Thank you so much for posting I'm planning on getting my first pit tomorrow in shaa Allah!
Haha wish me luck so they won't die
😊
Might be a dumb question, but where can I get that tea cup where you added the mint?
If I boil it and put it in the fridge, do you think I would still get the benefits? It's hot as hell here and I don't want to drink hot tea.
We live in USA, Florida. Hot, jungle-like. It's turning brown at the BASE, do you know what's happening? I just now sprayed Neem oil on it, and watered it.
I grow mine in a big pot with different types of lavendar.
This thing really can help with anxiety problems. It's actually better than clonazepam or at least can help to reduce significantly the need of drugs like that.
Can lemon balm be grown inside in a pot.
I bought lemon balm in a nursery in a small pot .It came with a tag that says use it in Unfiltered soil! You said the opposite!
Lemon balm dates to the 14th century or that's the first reference of its use?
Wate im just trying to fegure out how much to watter it
Lemon balm was used over 4000 years ago
Does it smell like a peppermint plant, Cause it looks just like my peppermint plant.
It smells like lemons, crush leaves.
Thank you for this vid! I am loving lemon balm... and this will be the first year I will have it in a container. Do you know how much sand to mix in with the potting soil?
I also love your little tea pot! would you mind sharing a link for it?
I have one I just bought in a pot for inside. I’m afraid to put it outside as animals will eat it.I wish I could put it outside
I bought mint seeds and once it grew I scanned the plant and it turned out to be lemon balm. Someone help explain this to me
Is lemon balm called by another name?
Melissa
3 dollars for one lemon balm seed? You got ripped, I bought a big lemon balm plant for 5 bucks
That’s awesome! ☺️
