Herbalist's Note for Lemon Balm:
Lemon balm's joyful nature has specific considerations, particularly regarding thyroid function.
- Thyroid Conditions: Traditionally used to support thyroid function—consult practitioner if on thyroid medication.
- Sedative Medications: May enhance effects of sedatives or anxiety medications.
- Pregnancy: Generally considered safe in culinary amounts; medicinal doses require practitioner guidance.
- Freshness Matters: Lemon balm loses potency quickly. Store airtight and use within 6-8 months.
- Gentle Herb: Works best with regular moderate use rather than high occasional doses.
