We have been growing medicinal herbs at our dacha for a long time. Helps maintain health! For example, we brew delicious and healthy tea from lemon balm leaves, peppermint and valerian root (taken in equal parts). In summer - from fresh raw materials, and in winter - from dried ones. We drink it any time. This tea lifts your mood, calms the nervous system, improves mental abilities, and normalizes sleep. I especially advise high school students to drink this drink: it strengthens memory. Checked!

By the way, beekeepers also respect lemon balm very much. Not only is it an excellent honey plant, but it has also long been used to pacify bees. An aqueous infusion of the herb with sugar reconciles two bee families. One has only to sprinkle the infusion on two swarms of bees - and they stop fighting with each other. Beekeepers also say that if you first lubricate your hands with lemon balm before working with hives, not a single bee will sting.
