Relax your energy and calm your nerves with this recommended herbal blend from Dr. Jill.

Lemon Balm and Chamomile Tea

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is a power house of the mint family. Rich in volatile oils, lemon balm calms the nervous and digestive systems and has been historically used to help heal a broken heart.

Combined with chamomile (Matricaria recutita), lemon balm helps ease an upset stomach and acts as a mild sedative.
