Lemon Balm is a wonderful herb to grow, it loves to live in containers or the ground. I have used Lemon Balm for many years in making summer sun tea’s, flavoring fruit salads, and adding to sugar syrups for summer coctails. However, I especially like to use lemon balm for children’s herbals. Lemon balm can calm the nerves, brighten the spirits and bring brightness back to a sluggish child.

It is also used in calming the child with ADHD or any other nervious issues.
