How to Identify, Harvest & Use Bee Balm (Monarda fistulosa) | Medicinal Herb Garden 2023

This video is a bit longer than my other MEDICINAL HERB VIDEOS, but for good reason! As I talk about all the wonderful properties of Bee Balm, I break down the MEDICINAL TERMINOLOGY that is normally used to describe the medicinal properties of herbs including, but not limited to, ANTISEPTIC, ANTIMICROBIAL, ANTISPASMODIC, & NERVINE. Like so many of the herbs I've covered in my Medicinal Herb Garden Series, Bee Balm has so many wonderful uses, both in the kitchen and in your herbal medicine cabinet, and I will be discussing ALL THOSE USES in this video as well!!
IN THIS VIDEO, I TALK ABOUT:
✅ Characteristics of Bee Balm
✅ How to identify Bee Balm (1:35)
✅ The CULINARY USES of Bee Balm (2:50)
✅ The MEDICINAL PROPERTIES of Bee Balm (4:25)
✅ HOW TO USE Bee Balm - Teas, Tinctures & More! (11:28)
✅ HOW TO HARVEST Bee Balm & What parts of the Bee Balm plant to harvest (21:27)
