Each of us is affected by the current pandemic in one way or another. To compound the stress levels, many of the healthful activities that were typically done in the past are not accessible at the moment. However, there are simple ways to help restore the balance. Along with proper sleep and exercise, diet plays a major role in one’s ability to maintain a sense of balance. One effective herbal brew that can be added to a daily diet plan is lemon balm tea. Lemon balm has been known to help relieve stress and anxiety; it also boosts cognitive function, eases insomnia and sleep disorders, relaxes blood vessels and is credited to be an anti-inflammatory. Lemon balm is in the mint family, and its use dates back to the 14th century.  

EarthShack Gifts & Herbiary carries lemon balm tea as well as an array of health products including hemp, CBD (cannabidiol) oil, essential oils, herbs, extracts and tinctures. They also stock the purest gifts that nature has to offer. The products are consciously sourced and support artists that share a commitment to sustainability.
