Is there still potent medicine in lemon balm after flowering? Mine has flowered and the flowers have almost disappeared and I’m wondering if the medicine is still good.
If the leaves are still oily feeling and strong smelling, it’s still good. It’s no good in the hot summer months because the essential oils evaporate off.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
I loved that video. When I harvested my lemon balm this fall (after flowering and after the hot of the summer), it was quite fragrant. After it dried it was still quite fragrant. I’m sooo happy, since I missed harvesting it before it flowered:/
