Licorice is an herb I’m trying to grow more of on the farm. We use the roots in our tea and tincture blends. Licorice is a sweet herb, almost too sweet for my taste, but I’ve yet to find another person who feels that way. So it’s a great herb to add to formulas that you want to bring a little sweetness to. Licorice is a wonderful herb that is great for adrenal support and to soothe irritated tissue in the upper respiratory and digestive tracts.
Contraindications: hypertension, Avoid if pregnant or if you have hypertension, congestive heart failure, edema, hyperkalemia or kidney disease. Avoid if you are taking MAOIs, hypertensives or anticoagulants.
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.
