I recently watched a documentary about roses with David Winston and Rosalee De La Forêt and realized that my favorite calming chamomile and lemon balm tea was missing something. Adding rose petals to the mix made it exceptionally soothing. Lemon balm chamomile rose petals tea is my go-to tea every day now!
The scent alone of this stress-relieving tea leads me to relaxation. My nervous system magically surrenders! Lemon balm is a wonderful stomach soother and aids in digestion if you need it. Chamomile and lemon balm help prevent insomnia and serve as a great combination to sip to calm any stress coming your way.
You should grow these medicinal herbs in your garden if you have the opportunity. The lemon balm plant is a gorgeous addition to any landscape. The sweet blossoms of chamomile are so beautiful they make you happy.
Some benefits of lemon balm leaves
Lemon balm supports digestion and is a member of the mint family, melissa officinalis is his Latin name. Officinalis means that lemon balm was recognized as an official drug. The taste is almost like lemon sherbet. It also helps with anxiety. It is beneficial for all the members of the family.
Some benefits of rose petals
- Rose petals contain l-theanine, which can help reduce emotional stress and promote relaxation.
- The anti-inflammatory compounds in rose petals help alleviate inflammation
- When you’re grieving. As David Winston says, “Roses are astonishing not only as a mood elevator but for broken hearts.”
- As a tonic for your cardiovascular system
- To help quell gut inflammation and heal a leaky gut
