EarthWise Aromatics Organic Lemon Balm

Multiple reviewers of this EarthWise Aromatics product specifically mention using it for acid reflux relief, and it's one of the most commonly cited benefits. Lemon balm has carminative properties, meaning it helps relax the smooth muscles of the digestive tract, which can reduce the pressure that pushes acid upward. It's not a replacement for medical treatment if you have chronic GERD, but as a natural, daily complement to your digestive routine, reviewers find it genuinely helpful.

Reviewers are overwhelmingly positive about the quality. Three separate reviews mention that the leaves smell and look fresh, and 'freshly dried quality' is specifically called out. Five reviewers praise the taste. For a bulk dried herb product, freshness is everything — stale lemon balm loses its aromatic oils and tastes flat. The consistent feedback here suggests EarthWise Aromatics is doing a good job with their drying and packaging process. The resealable bag helps maintain that freshness after opening.

The product is listed and marketed as 100% Certified Organic, and the vast majority of reviewers are satisfied with the quality. However, one reviewer did note that the organic certification label was missing from the actual bag, even though it's claimed in the listing. This appears to be a labeling oversight rather than a quality issue — the fresh smell, appearance, and taste that reviewers consistently praise suggest a high-quality herb. If certification documentation is important to you, you might want to contact the seller for verification.

Loose leaf lemon balm like this EarthWise Aromatics product generally delivers a fresher, more aromatic brew than pre-packaged tea bags. Reviewers consistently praise the fresh quality of these leaves — they smell and look fresh, which translates to better flavor. Tea bags typically contain more finely ground herb, which can lose its volatile oils faster. The trade-off is convenience: tea bags are grab-and-go, while loose leaf requires an infuser or strainer. But for the flavor quality and especially the value per cup at this bulk size, loose leaf wins for regular drinkers.

It's an excellent choice for beginners, actually. The preparation is simple — just steep the loose leaves in hot water — and the flavor is smooth and approachable, not harsh or medicinal-tasting. The moderate flavor strength means it's pleasant even if you're new to herbal teas. The only consideration is that this is a loose leaf product (not tea bags), so you'll need some way to strain it — a basic tea infuser or kitchen strainer is all you need. The bulk size might seem like a lot if you're just trying lemon balm for the first time, but it also means plenty of room to experiment with brewing strength.

The bag comes with a resealable closure, which reviewers appreciate. For long-term storage of this 1-pound quantity, your best bet is to divide it into mason jars (one reviewer filled six large ones) and store them in a cool, dark place — a pantry or cabinet away from the stove works well. Keep the jars sealed tight to preserve those volatile oils that give lemon balm its fresh, lemony aroma. Properly stored, dried lemon balm typically stays fresh for about a year, though you'll likely go through this supply faster than that with daily use.

Yes, and many customers of this EarthWise Aromatics lemon balm do exactly that. Multiple reviewers describe it as part of their daily wellness routine, using it regularly for digestive support and relaxation. The 1-pound bulk size is actually designed with daily drinkers in mind — reviewers report it fills about 6 large mason jars, which gives you a solid supply for consistent daily use. Lemon balm has a long history of safe daily consumption, though as with any herb, it's worth taking occasional breaks if you're using it therapeutically.

If relaxation and digestive health are your priorities, lemon balm is an excellent daily choice. This EarthWise Aromatics version is popular among daily drinkers because of its smooth, moderate flavor that doesn't get tiresome, its caffeine-free profile so you can drink it any time of day, and its bulk 1-pound size that makes daily use economical. Reviewers specifically praise its fresh quality and consistent taste, which matters a lot when you're drinking something every single day.

For this EarthWise Aromatics loose leaf lemon balm, use about 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried herb per 8 ounces of water. Bring your water to a full boil, then pour it over the leaves and steep for 5 to 10 minutes — longer steeping brings out a stronger herbal flavor. Since this is a loose leaf product, you'll want a tea infuser, strainer, or French press. Reviewers describe the flavor as smooth and fresh with a moderate lemon balm taste, so you can adjust the amount of herb to suit your preference without it getting bitter.

Lemon balm tea is known for its calming and digestive properties, and this EarthWise Aromatics blend delivers on both. Customers specifically report using it for relaxation, digestive relief — including acid reflux, upset stomach, and bloating — and as part of a daily wellness routine. One of the more surprising benefits reviewers mention is that it helps calm food cravings and what some call 'food noise,' which is that constant background chatter about what to eat next.

The answer depends on the herb, but lemon balm specifically has a solid track record. Reviewers of this EarthWise Aromatics product report real, tangible benefits: relief from acid reflux and bloating, reduced anxiety, better relaxation, and even help managing food cravings. These aren't just folk medicine claims — lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) has been studied for its calming and digestive properties. The key is consistency and quality, and reviewers note this particular product tastes fresh and maintains its potency.

No, lemon balm is naturally caffeine-free. This EarthWise Aromatics product is 100% lemon balm with no added tea leaves (like black or green tea) that would introduce caffeine. That makes it a great option for evening drinking, which lines up with how many reviewers use it — as a calming, relaxing tea before bed or whenever they want to wind down without worrying about sleep disruption.

Most herbalists suggest 1 to 3 cups of lemon balm tea daily is a reasonable amount for general wellness. Many reviewers of this EarthWise Aromatics product drink it daily as part of their routine without any reported issues. If you're using it specifically for digestive relief or relaxation, having a cup after meals or before bed is a common approach. Start with one cup a day and see how you feel before increasing. The bulk 1-pound size is clearly designed for people who plan to make it a regular habit.

Absolutely. While it's sold as a tea product, dried lemon balm is incredibly versatile. You can add it to homemade bath soaks for a relaxing soak, use it in herbal sachets, blend it into potpourri, or infuse it into oils and tinctures. Some customers use it in cooking — it adds a subtle lemony note to salads, desserts, and sauces. The bulk 1-pound size makes it practical for these multi-use purposes without worrying about running out of your tea supply.

Herbal teas are a classic sick-day comfort, and lemon balm specifically brings some useful properties to the table. Its calming effect can help you rest, and reviewers of this EarthWise Aromatics product highlight its digestive benefits — particularly for upset stomach and bloating, which often accompany illness. It's caffeine-free, so it won't interfere with the rest your body needs. While it's not a cure-all, a warm cup of fresh lemon balm tea is a genuinely soothing option when you're under the weather.

Lemon balm tea may help with mild digestive discomfort, though it's more specifically praised for relieving bloating, acid reflux, and upset stomach rather than constipation directly. Reviewers of this EarthWise Aromatics product consistently mention digestive support as a key benefit. Lemon balm works as a gentle carminative — it helps relax the smooth muscles of the digestive tract, which can ease things along. For targeted constipation relief, senna or peppermint teas are more commonly recommended, but lemon balm supports overall digestive comfort.

For loose leaf herbal teas like this EarthWise Aromatics lemon balm, the standard ratio is 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried herb per 8 ounces of water. If you like a stronger, more medicinal brew — which several reviewers of this product prefer for digestive or relaxation benefits — go with a full tablespoon per cup and steep longer. Since you're getting a full pound (16 oz) of loose leaf, you have plenty of room to experiment and find your sweet spot.

Here's an important distinction: you don't actually want to boil the lemon balm itself. Bring your water to a boil, then remove it from heat and pour it over the dried leaves. Boiling delicate herbs like lemon balm directly in the water can destroy some of the volatile oils that give it that fresh, lemony flavor. Steep for 5 to 10 minutes with a cover on your cup or teapot to trap the aromatic compounds. This EarthWise Aromatics lemon balm has a moderate flavor strength, so 7 to 8 minutes is a good starting point.

No infuser? No problem. The simplest method is to brew the lemon balm loose in your cup or pot and pour it through a fine mesh kitchen strainer into a second cup. You can also use a French press — just add the dried lemon balm, pour in hot water, steep for 5 to 10 minutes, and press down. Some people even brew it cowboy-style: just let the leaves settle to the bottom and sip carefully. Lemon balm leaves are fairly large and light, so they tend to float and settle more easily than finely cut tea leaves.
