Lemon Balm Often bypassed and just thought of as a pesky weed

... check out the lemon balm again. Lemon balm is such a profuse herb that once it takes hold you literally have to keep cutting it back.  Often this went into the compost for recycling.  And often there was I wanting to do something else with it.

The calming effects have long been known in our family with so many members withing and on the Autism Spectrum.  Really does help to have it around for pests like mosquitoes as well.

While learning to adapt to new learning processes falling back onto and into methods of implementing what is being learned without stressing myself out over much, lemon balm around the
Lemon Balm Tea, bread and even in the cough  steamer
garden, in the home and in the food or refreshments is really helping.  may well place stress and some anxiety though this home guess who is including as much as I can the lemon balm within the juicing things.  Then of course what do you do with the extracts.  Make pancakes and other things with these ingredients included.

Actually looking forward to making a couple of loaves of home cooked bread this Friday [shopping day] . So will be taking photos and while at it totally enjoying myself  including leftovers for taste and effects. That also induces the beetroot pulp!

Having a few books and the internet is terrific when researching herbs.  Traditional uses of these herbs being adapted into today's need for quick efficiency, little wastage.

Lemon balm is such an easy plant to grow.  Ride over it, run aver it and even cut it down with the lawnmower.  It is still there.  When out children were young they had grown up knowing what plants and herbs they were allowed to eat.  Having found out their own levels of tolerance quite often these plants were found in cups as vases on the bedside table.  Which needless to say as all our children fell into the Autism Spectrum and into denial periods, just introducing the herbs which may, or may nt have a calming effect, including these as a natural part of daily survival life helped hold our family together.  primarily as they children dod not tell others what the plants were for.
.
A major touch and feel plant has now found a few other uses as well. Now when I use the machine to chop up the lemon balm before it goes into the juicer I can utilize the chopped leaves and the pulp into a cold drink through out the day.

Besides the effect of just walking inside having trimmed the lemon balm plant gives an uplifting, relaxing and memory enhancing whoosh of energy.  So much so that when combined with the Dani's meditation series  a major removal and dissipation of a mental blockage occurred.

Now all the pieces of how to make the most of the Autoresponder came right in and said hello we are here to stay.  This then enabled the one of the business subsections to be able to have an energy flow.
Talk about going with the flow in autistic temperament home!
