Benefits of lemon balm in your water:

Obviously I’m not a doctor and I don’t give any of these benefits of lemon balm water as medical suggestions or cures for any ailment.

These are all benefits that are possible from this combination of ingredients. Drinking this water is not meant to be a solution for medical problems and I can say for certain you will experience any or all of these benefits.

Instead, think of it this way: Aside from the fact lemon balm water is a delicious and refreshing drink for a hot day, these are some awesome possible benefits as a happy side effect after you have a glass 🙂
