Verbena|

[Onyxaeon]

Lemon Verbena grows to 3m and has tiny, pale flowers that bloom in the summer. Its leaves used to flavor drinks, fruit, sweet dishes, and to make an herbal tea. The tea is refreshing and mildly sedative-it soothes bronchial and nasal congestion and eases indigestion, nausea, flatulence, stomach cramps, and palpitations. The leaves also yield a green dye. Leaf infusion soothes puffy eyes.

Warnings: Long term use of large amounts may irritate the stomach.
