Yes it should as long as you get a reputable brand. Traditional Medicinals is a favorite of mine. Just be careful of the plastics in the tea bags. You can also probably buy loose leaf organic and put it in a stainless steel tea ball too. –Rachel

Yes I’d be glad too. Of course we know that research can be very biased that we find online so it’s good to try to dig in and get the most accurate data we can. That said you’re welcome to look up an specific claim from this article yourself, but here are a few:

Hi Donna, I think as long as you are aware of the side effects of lemon balm (like its effects on thyroid function) and don’t eat a boatload of it, it might be okay. You may want to consult an herbalist or other healthcare professional if you have concerns. –Rachel

I have never heard of this Lemon balm mint until I aw a Double Lemon marmalade recipe. This recipe calls for Lemon Balm. 4 cups of fresh lemon balm leaves to 4 1/2 cups of boiling water. pour over leaves and let stand for 15 minutes. I will be using only 3 1/2 cups of liquid to make the marmalade.
After reading your article my questions is. Would there be any concerns using the Lemon Balm in this manner? finished recipe will produce about 5 1/2 pints.

You absolutely can Adrienne. I think drying it is best. Just do it low and slow. If you are using a dehydrator keep the temp about 150. I just lay mine on a screen in my garage and let it air dry but both are fine. –Rachel
