Herbal Ally Series - Lemon Verbena

In this episode of Project Joyful, Tracy Tutty introduces Lemon Verbena, a versatile herb with medicinal properties and a delightful lemon flavor. She discusses its history, traditional uses, medicinal benefits, and precautions, as well as its role in supporting the nervous system and digestive health. A herb for the holidays, Lemon verbena is the herb to drink after overindulging.

 

Key takeaway points include:

• its effectiveness in relieving digestive discomfort,
• its soothing effects on the parasympathetic nervous system, and
• its potential to protect the gastric mucosa and act as a powerful antioxidant.

 

Please get individualized advice by consulting with your medical herbalist. Not only are they trained in which herbs affect a particular health condition or your current life season, they're also trained in any herb-drug interactions and in choosing exactly the right herb for you.

And if you're tired of drinking bland herbal teas that are little more than colored water, peak the taste by including a little bit of Lemon Verbena.
