I first came across vervain – also known as lemon verbena – while visiting the south of France, where it was a staple in every local grocery store. I have fond memories of enjoying a cup of vervain tea late at night, gazing out over the dark Mediterranean Sea. For me, it symbolizes deep relaxation and those carefree, tranquil days. Now, I grow it in my own herb garden.
Vervain is believed to have a range of wellness benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and antibacterial properties, as well as supporting gum health. It may also help with insomnia and depression. Our Soothing PM organic herbal tea is filled with calming herbs including vervain.
