Hi,
I've been taking lemon balm for a week now and it has worked better than any other herbal supplement I've tried. It relaxes me without making me drowsy and it makes me feel really good. With that and colostrum I feel like I'm completely cured for the first time in my life. If you want to know about colostrum look at the medications board or try the sjw forum under brands.

What's Lemon Balm? Some kinda chapstick?

 

[robo]

Lemon balm Is an herbal plant of somekind. They call it lemon balm cause it has a lemon-like fragrance. It comes in capsules and oils. I take the capsules three times a day with my meals. I also take passion flower which is an herbal plant as well. These two things have worked great for me.

That's weird that you mentioned lemon balm since I have been researching that recently...I met this lady who is a Pyschic and she gave me some herb plants...one was lemon balm.
As she was getting ready to dig it out of the ground, she whispered to me (why she whispered I don't know since she lives in the country and there was no one in the near vicinity :lol :lol ) she said..."you can dry it out and smoke it...it makes you sort of giggly...and it's legal"

It is an herb plant from the mint family...and you can take the dry leaves and make tea with it...it grows about 3 feet tall and spreads over an area.
Well, I think I need to buy my husband "rolling papers" for fathers day... :lol
I hear it is supposed to have a calmative effect.

I grow lemon balm in my herb garden...never knew it was used for anything other than flavoring tea. By the way, What is colostrum?

 

[robo]

Hey F-bomb, check out the just curious if anyone has given colostrum a try on this same forum. I talk about what it is and stuff like that. Thanks

 

[F-Bomb]

Thanks for the info on colostum...I don't think I'll take it, because it's an animal product, but it's interesting to know.

On a side note...can you really smoke lemon balm? It seems like it would be pretty harsh...

 

[enlydiazee]

I've been researching Lemon Balm and it seems like it is good for about anthing you can think of...teas to drink, in a sachet in your bath, in a potpouri...in pill form for calmative...oils etc. But I never heard of smoking it except for from this lady...
since it is legal, I guess it is worth a try....
It is also supposed to be useful as an antidepressant, anti anxiety, antiviral, anti cancer, and increasing your mental abilities (memory)

and it grows anywhere, grows to 3 feet tall and spreads in your herb garden...I just have a few small plants, but they look healthy and I figure by the end of summer I will have enough for the winter. it can be dried or frozen.

 

[robo]

Since I heard you could smoke it, I broke open a couple of capsules and tried it. It wasn't too harsh and it kicked in a lot faster. But I still felt the same as taking it orally. It's probably not good for your lungs to smoke it.

 

[F-Bomb]

It's not good for your lungs to smoke anything...How did you smoke the stuff in the capsules? Isn't it like a dust or something? I was thinking about drying some leaves and giving it a shot, but I doubt that I will...tea is easier and safer.

 

[enlydiazee]

I will never admit to the fact that I smoked Lemon Balm joints...but if I were to admit to it :lol I would say that it smells a lot like the other stuff (not that I would want to say that I know what the other stuff smells like)....and the effect is that it is very calmative...and yeah you might laugh a lot afterwards...hmmm? did I say too much?
It's legal....

 

[robo]

I just wanted to try it, to see what happened. I guess I'm just that kind of person, I wasn't trying to get high or anything, I was just curious. The stuff in the capsules is just dried up leaves. It's not any different from smoking them off a plant. It was just a one time thing.

 

[danielle38]

where can you get lemon balm or colostrum other than the internet???
How much does it cost??

 

[enlydiazee]

You might be able to get dry lemon balm leaves in a health food store...or some place that sells herbs. I have fresh in my garden...you can always buy seeds and try to grow indoors...but you would probably have to purchase the seeds on the internet. I don't think my plants have gotten seeds on them yet.

it doesnt cure anything robo, especially since you mentioned that you were also taking antidepressants with these things, its a placebo effect, you believe it'll cure you so it has that effect

lemon balm is a natural relaxer for the nervous system
but it doesnt tend to do much for thsoe with SAD
colostrum is just "food" that aids in digestion

dont waste your money... go to therapy instead
i have bought like 7 diff types of herbs and taken more of them than i needed to.... did nothing....

If he says it cured him, who are you to say it didn't?

if it worked specifically for him, thats great, but hes endorsing it as a cure, when he tooka ntidepressants as a side

and also because he's been posting that all these things have potential to cure SAD, when that's not really logical to say, as he was always taking an antidepressant on the side..... its flawed information, basically
i wasnt attacking him, i actually took his advice before and bought lemon balm, passion flower, and colustrum but they had no effects, also probably because i didnt take any ssris or maoris with it.... like he did

 

[enlydiazee]

There is nothing that is a cure-all...but many things together plus the placebo effect can be a benefit...getting out and having to work with people is as effective as the "drugs" you take....you need to use everything to your advantage...but not expect one thing to be the answer....I like lemon balm...but I wouldn't count on it to be the answer to my life ills...It is a powerful relaxer. Smoked, used as a tea...whatever...they use it in dream pillows...We have so many things at our disposal to make out lives better and more interesting...we need to be open to new ideas...new possiblities...try them...without being too judgemental...one of my favorite verses is "God has given us everything we need for life and godliness"....if he has given us everything we need...maybe part of the fun is looking to see what are the things he has given us...herbs, mental exercises (like imagery), love. nutrition, drugs?...just find them and balance them....

I was taking the anti-depressant for two years before I ever tried colostrum, and before then my s.a. hadn't improved very much at all if anything. So when I got on the colostrum and saw great results, it was only natural to think that the colostrum was working without the anti-depressant. But I will never know if the colostrum works alone for me, because I can't quit taking the medicine. So for anybody that has tried it and haven't had any results, I apologize. But it should be somewhat good to hear that a person with the same disorder has actually found a way to beat it.

Hi I was just wondering, how do u know it was the lemon balm working when u were taking other herb(s) along with it? Also, do you know if there are any side effects such as cramping/upset stomach (i had this with Valeriat root)? And do u know how safe it is? xx
