Lemon Balm and Rose Glycerite - 4 fl. oz.

This remedy combines my two favorite alcohol-free extracts (lemon balm and rose) to make a Sweet Happiness Glycerite. The glycerine is organic, food grade, and palm oil free. The herbs and flowers (including three different varieties of roses) were lovingly harvested from my own garden on the same day the extract was made. You cannot get any fresher than that!

This Sweet Happiness Lemon Balm and Rose Extract comes in a dropper bottle and is available in 2 fluid ounces or 4 fluid ounces (see the other size here). Store in a cool dry place and the glycerite should last at least a year.

To use, add 2-3 “squirts” to water, seltzer, tea, or straight onto your tongue.

One of my very favorite, must-grow herbs is lemon balm (Melissa officinalis). I first fell in love with lemon balm extracts when I was searching for something that would help me with my driving anxiety before a long road trip. I couldn’t take anything that would make me sleepy and I didn’t want to drink a lot of tea that would require frequent stops! An herbalist I was studying with, at the time, recommended lemon balm extract, and it changed my life! This gentle, easy-to-grow member of the mint family is not only delicious but has an amazing ability to quell anxiety. While nothing is perfect for everyone, this herb has pretty much no known drug interactions or side effects. (Of course, you should always do your own research.)

A fresh lemon balm extraction is one of the best ways to preserve these properties. While alcohol-based tinctures are stronger, a glycerite is the next best thing and has the benefit of being alcohol-free which makes it suitable for more people, including children. Glycerites are made by infusing herbs and flowers into food grade glycerine—yes, the same glycerine that is used in cosmetics and soap-making. It is a very versatile product!

My other absolute favorite glycerite is rose glycerite. The subtle floral flavor shines in this naturally sweet substance. Roses have a way of lifting the spirits. Whether smelling them or consuming them, these garden beauties are a gift to the heart and soul.

Enjoy this blended glycerite any time of day or evening.
