I'm sure you've heard the phrase- 'When life gives you lemons make lemonade', right? Well, better yet how about making some Lemon Balm tea instead?
Lemon balm tea is known for being extremely helpful with anxiety and stress. I have wanted to try it out for a looong time but I could never seem to either remember it when shopping, or find it when I did remember to look for it! Ha
However, I have finally been successful in placing a order on amazon and my little box of Traditional Medicinals tea has arrived!
This morning I have successfully boiled and poured hot water into a nice big mug and steeped my first tea bag of luscious Lemon Balm. If you would like you can scroll down to the first pic below and join me in reading today's devotional as I sit here waiting for it to steep to perfection :).
Okay, so lets taste this little 'cuppa'. Well it's a soothing lemony aroma and creates a warm sunny glow on the way down the hatch...okay maybe I got a little carried away- haha. Still, it is very pleasant and refreshing. Definitely a must try if you are searching for a little something to help you relax and get rid of some worries.
Here is a link for a little more scientific research: http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2007/aug2007_report_stress_anxiety_01.htm
So go buy or order yourself some Lemon Balm tea and when you do make sure you come back here and listen to this encouraging and relaxing song while you sip and relax!
