We just bought a house where the previous owners actually built the house. We have just started the first spring here and I love seeing what is hiding in all the gardens. Everyday feels like Christmas! I discovered very quickly that the yard is covered with lemon balm! 😊 I'm so happy, and I enjoy my tea as I await to see what appears tomorrow. It occurred to me, maybe that's how the previous owners actually were able to enjoy this home for over 60 years! Passing in there late 90s! ❤❤
I havr lemon balm I boughgt from a haerd warfe store last year and I put it from I had it in another place un the apple tree where we bought a house in a urban area so it grows well when I transplanted it this spring along with I got it with Lemon blam and Mlorocco Mint sage I planted and chamomile. I am just coming back to learn hopwto use it.
Lemon Balm was one of the first herb I grew for making herbal drinks. I had very little money for food and gas for my car, aches and pains both physical and phycological (anxiety), and no health insurance. That summer I went outside every morning and picked a few lemon balm leaves, a few volunteer raspberries leaves and raspberries, a sage leaf or two, and one peppermint leaf. While the mixture steeped I ate the raspberries and made oatmeal. I drank my herbs outside watching birds.
At the end of July my daughter was very worried. She said there was something wrong with me because nothing bothered me!
I harvest enough lemon balm for the winter but switch to the fresh leaves as soon as I can. For me there is a huge difference in the effect they have.
note: I have a sluggish thyroid and have noticed no ill effects from lemon balm
Thank you for sharing your powerful story, Deborah! ~Karin Rose
So does dry lemon balm work as well as the fresh?
I use it for one symptom and for me the fresh leaf seems to work better. It might be that I use it more in the summer because it is hot outside and I drink more water.
I think fresh anything is better. But personally I would not grow something that I was not already familiar with. That’s just me. I have a very small space where I grow things in pots and in the case of lemon balm it was economical for me to grow and dry my own.
I hope this helped.

Thank you
This video makes you the world's best lemon balm ambassador 👑
How did the algorithm know I needed this? Just a few minutes ago while sitting outside drinking my coffee gazing at my lemon balm I had thought that I need to find some videos on what to do with it. Then pickup my phone and voila!
Rosalee, This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen on Lemon Balm, one of my favorite herbs! Thank you!
Agreed!

I make lemon balm tea from fresh cut lemon balm. I cut just above the first set of leaves, cut the whole stalk, rinse it, and put it into a huge pot. Add cold tap water then set onto the stove and bring it just to almost boiling. Then set the pot aside and let the pot cool to room temperature. I then use a fine mess strainer to strain it as I pour it into a large beverage dispenser that I keep in the fridge. My kids drink it like kool-aid!
How’s your day going with you?
My daughter has social anxiety and uses it to help her cope as she is a store manager and has to deal with people all day ling. She says two cups a day works for her.

I’m obsessed with lemon balm, my favorite go to herb to use for my insomnia & I’ve noticed I’m not constantly turning in my sleep since I started taking lemon balm pills. My mind is always racing & lemon balm seems to help quiet my mind before bed & keeps my mind at ease.
Lemon balm tea is a life saver for me!! I started having insomnia- I could fall asleep easily but wake up 4-5 times and stay awake for 20-30 minutes each time. I started drinking lemon balm tea at night and now sleep so well.

Thanks so much for your time! ❤️😀
Excellent informative and inspiring. Thank you! 💚
Your videos are very comprehensive for a fellow herbalist. Thank you
Rosalee, having taken one of your classes Iwith Mountain Rose, and purchased your "Alchemy" book, I am delighted to see you on RUclips dispensing your well documented and factual reports on the benefits of herbs. I've grown lemon balm both in the Dallas area of Texas, where I let it go anywhere it wanted, to here in mideast Missouri. I had too many plants here, and in my enthusiastic yanking out, I almost eradicated it from our yard, but a few plants persisted, which I am now babying..... some growing almost in sunny conditions, others in partial shade. It's been fascinating to see how the two environments almost produce a different plant. Thanks for reminding me to use it more....
Your delivery is incredible. And so informative. I just found you and definitely subscribed for more! Thank you so much. Lemon Balm is my new favorite herb too!!
Thank you for sharing and teaching!🌹🕊

Thank God for Lemon Balm! I discovered her 2 years ago. What an amazing plant!! A life saver. Thank you for your fabulous video. Welldone!
I've had a lemon balm plant for a few years. this is a great video that highlights its uses.
With so many benefits how could I have never heard of this herb? Thanks to you now I am aware.
Awesome video. I have lemon balm in the garden, I make tea and tinctures from it. I did get tested recently and the results showed a slight hypo thyroid condition (I had been lax on my lemon balm intake recently) so the info in this video was just what I needed to hear right now. Thank you!
Thank you Rosalee for this informative video. I have been using lemon balm for years as I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I use Traditional Medicinals organic lemon balm tea as it was easily accessible and of excellent quality but now that I have a garden allotment I have just planted my very own lemon balm plant! I am looking forward to harvesting and trying your recipes. I no longer require thyroid meds and I believe lemon balm was definitely a contributing factor. Looking forward to more videos like this one! :>}
Rosalee, Thank You for this great video. Every day, we drink (on an empty stomach) a fresh juice of celery, lemon, carrots, nettles , curcuma, beets, ginger and lemon balm. A pure wellness for mind and body. Brings an impressive number of minerals and vitamins to our bodies. Our skin is healthy, our hair shining and we feel really great. Nature is a true wonder. I also use lemon balm hydrosol in creams... A true gift that heals!

How do you remove the 'sting' of the nettles for juicing?
I planted 3 lemon balm plants this spring for tea. The plants are still alive and doing well ☺
My favorite combination is sage, rosemary and lemon balm, but I never knew the benefits. Thanks for a great video.

Thank you for this video! I discovered this herb this year and have benefitted greatly in aiding with anxiety and depression as well as the neuropathy associated with limes disease.
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!
Wow, Rosalee this is wonderful how you describe the lemon balm and I appreciate your enthousiam about herbs which I have learned from my french grand-maman and y aunt also. Thank you. It is safe for people with Diabetic 2 which my husband is. Bless you Rosalee for sharing your knowledge
