Lemongrass grows in lovely rows on the edges of our growing plots on the farm. Here in Maine, lemongrass is an annual, but in warmer climates it is a lovely perennial. We harvest it in the fall every year to dry for tea. I love its mild lemon flavor and use it for digestive blends, as it can help with gas, bloating and abdominal pain.
Contraindications: None known.
Lemon balm is a cooling, uplifting, aromatic herb that has long been used to support the nervous system, digestion, and emotional well-being.
Herbalists often reach for lemon balm when someone is feeling hot, tense, worried, scattered, or emotionally worn down. It has a way of helping us soften, cool down, and come back into ourselves.
