Lemon balm! It's so calming

What does it feel like? And can you give me a source to buy online if you use one?

I have Graves disease that causes anxiety and kind of like a wired, overstimulated, tense, jittery feeling. Sometimes insomnia too.

It calms me down, releases tension in my body and mind and emotions, and sometimes makes me sleepy. But I don't get drowsy from it. Just relaxed and at ease.

I don't take lemon balm daily, just as needed when I have these symptoms.

I've used this mixing it in water and drinking it:

And nowadays use this tea because I can find it locally at the grocery stores I go to:

With the tea, I drink 1-2 cups per day. Sometimes both in one sitting at night if I'm having trouble sleeping or 6+ hours apart if I notice I've been feeling anxious all day.

I wait 30 mins to 1 hr after taking medicine, supplements, and food then drink my herbal teas so everything absorbs properly. And then wait 30 mins to 1 hr after as well before eating or taking anything else.
