Peppermint and other mints are easy plants to grow and have in your garden. They also make a lovely plant for container gardens. They easily spread, so keep an eye on this one, as it can get out of hand. Peppermint is such a delicious aromatic plant. I love its cooling energetics and use it to relieve nausea, cramping, gas, bloating, intestinal spasms and menstrual cramps. It makes a wonderful tea and I find it to also be uplifting.
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.
