Coulour pretty warmth

Lemon Balm

This is lemon balm
And who woulda knew
That is can help cure colds
And even the flu
It smells great and will releive you of indegestion
And is so good it is recommended for depression
If you’re having insomnia this herb is dandy
You should probably brew it and not eat it like candy
It is used in tea wine and beers
If you’re having these problems have no fear
