    500th like. The 17th century was when French Carmelite sisters distributed Carmelite water. The lemon-balm infusion of’miracle water’ was believed to boost the memory and perception, and also reduce melancholy, fever and congestion.

    I use it in this way too, and often with fennel (seeds). I grow them in my garden in Hampshire in England. They are two herbs you cannot stop once they're established. I'm 75 and have been using herbs for decades. You are so eloquent and make you videos very interesting.
    Be blessed.
    Self-heal, another herb which proliferates in my garden, is very effective for herpes too.

    This is my herb of the year 2023. A true “gladdener”. It came to me in July as I was recovering from a very high stress period with a wonky brain. Within a week, I felt like all my synapses were synapsing. Now after several weeks, I feel so chill. Stuff that use to really stress me out is not. A real revelation. I just use tincture or tea daily, made from my own home-grown lemon balm.

    Do you think this would still be a good herb to treat wellness or GI issues with if you have Hypothyroidism? I love my little lemon balm plant and drink the tea often but wondering if this could have some minor adverse reaction since I do have Hypothyroidism. Thank you and you ROCK!

    If Lemon Balm works best as a tea, would a glycerine be preferred over alcohol tincture to use when a tea isn’t convenient to make? Same with other leafy herbs, like Stinging Nettles?

    Speaking aboug hyper. How did you grow such a big patch of Lemon balm, or don't you share that type of information? How many plants to start to get such a big patch? What kind of dirt is yours in? What kind of heat, or sun does it like? Show us how to use a still to get out volatile oil? You sound like a partaker of cannabis. Jupiter planet, our Creator God put in place, to balance gravity, not to worship. It's a created thing, not the Creator... 💙💜✝️
