🌿Herb of the Week: Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)🌿

Lemon balm is a bright, uplifting, and incredibly comforting herb. It’s a great one to reach for when your mind or body just needs to settle, without feeling sedated or numbed.

It’s been used for centuries to support the nervous system, digestion, and immune response.

🍋Nervous System Support:
Lemon balm is a gentle nervine that helps ease nervous tension, racing thoughts, irritability, and that wired-but-tired feeling so many of us live in. It’s a great option for both kids and adults during overstimulating times.

🍋Digestive Comfort:
Stress loves to show up in the gut, and lemon balm can really shine here. It helps relax the digestive tract, settle queasiness, ease bloating or spasms, and support digestion during anxious times or after meals. It’s especially helpful when your stomach feels “off” for no obvious reason.

🍋Immune & Viral Support:
Lemon balm carries antiviral properties and has traditionally been used during fevers, colds, and viral flares.

🍋Topical Support:
Lemon balm is well known for its topical antiviral actions, especially for cold sores, which is why it can be found in lip balms. Used early, it can help reduce discomfort and support quicker healing.

It’s also traditionally been used topically for viral-related skin discomfort, including shingles, where it may help soothe irritation, nerve discomfort, and inflammation. While it’s not a cure, it can be a very supportive herb during flares.

🐾Pet-Friendly:
Dogs: Often used for mild anxiety, nervous digestion, or stress-related tummy upset. Helpful during vet visits, travel, storms, or routine changes.
Cats: More sensitive overall, but lemon balm may be used in glycerin extracts or very weak teas to support mild anxiety or digestive upset. Low and slow is key.
Horses: Commonly used to promote relaxation and digestive comfort, particularly for nervous horses or during changes in routine or environment.

🍋Ways to Use:
Tea: Gentle, pleasant, and easy for daily support.
Extract: Helpful when you need something more concentrated.
Topical: Commonly used in lip balms and calming or antiviral skin blends.

🍋Growing & Foraging:
Lemon balm is easy to grow and loves to spread once established. It’s part of the mint family and easy to identify by its soft lemony scent when the leaves are rubbed. Bees absolutely love it.

⚠️Contraindications & Notes:
Lemon balm is generally very gentle and well tolerated, but those with thyroid conditions or taking thyroid medication should use it mindfully and avoid heavy long-term use. Its calming effects may also enhance sedative medications.

As always, if pregnant, nursing, or on medications check with your provider before use.

Happy Monday, friends.☕️🎄

I have a small favor to ask…If you’ve ever ordered from me would you please take a minute to leave a review?

Either on my website or right here on Facebook (or both if you’re willing) would be amazing!🥰

Reviews may seem small, but for a small business like mine, they make a massive difference. They help new customers know what to expect, they help my products reach the people who truly need them, and honestly…they encourage me more than you know.

If you’ve already left one, thank you, truly.
If you haven’t yet and feel led to, I’d be SO grateful.💜

As we start the new week…

A little reminder that boundaries are not only healthy, they’re biblical.

Even Jesus stepped away from crowds, withdrew to quiet places, and protected His peace.

And honestly, our bodies often ask for those same things: Rest. Margin. Space to breathe. A chance to pour from a place that isn’t empty.

Holistic wellness isn’t just about what we take, it’s also about what we stop taking on.

The stress we don’t carry.
The “yes” we don’t owe anyone.
The quiet we allow ourselves so our nervous system can breathe.

So if your week needs clearer boundaries or more simplicity, take that as permission.

You’re allowed to step back.
You’re allowed to protect your peace.
And you’re allowed to care for the body and mind God lovingly gave you, without guilt.💜🙏🏼

Calm & Clarity Tea has become one of my daily non-negotiables lately. It’s GREAT for calming everything down when you hit that “end of your rope” place.😬

Motherwort is the MVP in the blend. It softens that sharp irritability and the feeling of being stretched too thin. Combined with the rest of the herbs it’s grounding without being sedating.

Here’s a simple breakdown of each herb and why this blend works so well:

•Oatstraw: Deep mineral nourishment for the nervous system, especially magnesium and calcium, helping the body feel grounded and resilient, overtime.

•Lemon Balm: Eases nervous tension, irritability, and stress-related digestive discomfort while supporting a calmer, more balanced mood.

•Chamomile: Soothes both the mind and digestion. Wonderful for bloating, cramping, emotional overwhelm, and the physical tension that often comes with stress.

•Motherwort: The emotional stabilizer. Softens overwhelm, irritability, and that wired-but-empty feeling. Also supports the heart (mentally and physically) when stress hits hard.

•Spearmint: Refreshing with gentle digestive support. Helps balance the deeper herbs while keeping the blend palatable.
(Because motherwort alone has quite the bitter bite😝).

•Lavender: Calms the nervous system and helps release tension.

•Rosemary: Supports focus, memory, and mental clarity. Offers a subtle cognitive lift that pairs great with the calming herbs.

A cup or two each day has been great to take the edge off and help me think more clearly through busy days…which are all of them anymore.😂

This is a GREAT option to add in with the stress and chaos the holidays commonly bring on.

I am working diligently on getting Black Friday weekend orders packed and shipped!📦

Hence why I’ve been a little quiet this week.

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed with the number of orders that came through and cannot thank y’all enough for your support!🥹

It truly means EVERYTHING!

I will be trying to catch up on messages tomorrow and hope to have all sale orders in the mail by Saturday (aside from those with preorders of extracts).

Happy Monday + Happy December!💜

In true Monday fashion, Shopify is being *difficult* and not allowing me to login on my laptop.

From my phone I can see all your orders (THANK YOU!🥹) but it won’t allow me to generate shipping labels at the moment.

Sooooo…while I’ve got a good bunch of orders boxed and ready, I’m stuck until Shopify plays nice.

But boy will I have a haul for the post office tomorrow!🫣😂
