- Culinary herb in salads and desserts
- Bath soaks for restless energy
- Herbal vinegar and oxymel base
Preparation Guide:
Use 2-3 teaspoons per 8oz hot (not boiling) water. Steep covered 5-7 minutes to preserve volatile oils.
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.
