THINK SPRING!
Lime Balm Melissa Officianalis ssp, is an offshoot of the Lemon Balm plant. Both Lime Balm and Lemon Balm share most of the same medicinal qualities and can be used interchangeably. It is a hardy perennial plant with thick, rigid and fuzzy light green leaves, and bares a light lime scent.
Like Lemon Balm, Lime Balm is also an effective nervine that is said to help promote relaxation, easing anxiety and stress. It is
said to be used for viral infections and stomach ailments where it is used as a digestive aide. Lime Balm is also known to potentially help treat hyperthyroidism.
We like to use dried Lime Balm in tea blends with other citrus flavored herbs such as lime basil, and lemon grass. It also pairs well with Tulsi!
All of our dried herbs are locally grown in Jamesport, NY at our certified organic farm. We start each herb from seed or root cutting on farm, hand tend it until peak potency, then mindfully harvest. Next, each herb is small batch dried, processed, and bagged for sale.
