Lemon Balm Tea

At Dilston Physic Garden, our Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), carefully grown organically in Northumberland, is a herb cherished for its soothing and healing properties. Traditionally, lemon balm has been used to calm the mind and lift the spirit, and modern research continues to affirm its benefits. Scientifically, lemon balm is recognised for its ability to alleviate stress and anxiety, promote restful sleep, and support cognitive function, including improving memory.  It also has antioxidant properties, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage, and anti-inflammatory effects, making it useful in treating inflammation and related pain. Furthermore, lemon balm is known for its antiviral and antibacterial capabilities, helping to ward off infections. Our organically cultivated lemon balm stands as a natural remedy, intertwining ancient wisdom with contemporary science to offer a holistic approach to well-being.
