Lemon balm for sleep?

We planted lemon balm a friend gave us last year. I was very happy to see it come back all on its own this year. Not knowing much about about this herb, I knew I liked the fresh lemony smell it has, and my wife's family had told me the lemon balm Lin the edge of their back yard, worked their magic against mosquitoes.

This year we were so busy between working for money, and working to build our homestead, we let our small garden go... On top of being too busy to garden, there was too much rain, even our local farm had a rough go!

Just the other day I picked whatever I could from our little patch of lemon balm to dry in our new home for future teas!

I started mixing it in with camomile and mugwort, as a relaxing sleepy brew with colorful dreams.

Sleeping teas are something I want to explore a little more. The only thing I don't like about drinking before bed is having to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Maybe my sleepy teas aren't strong enough.

That's all I have for you tonight, so until next time, with perhaps more experience and knowledge from reading other #theherbalhive posts!!!
