Do you have little kids at home that love popsicles?

This recipe is great for kids who are:

teething
fever
hot summer day
and it soothes anxiety

The main ingredient Lemon Balm {melissa officianalis} is safe for kids and is known as the “gladdening herb”. You may notice after these pops that your kiddos are very happy:)

Lemon Balm Benefits

antiviral – known to reduce viral illnesses
calms the mind and promotes sleep
improves digestion
fights the herpes virus
soothes kids with ADD and ADHD
reduces PMS

Echinacea Benefits

It’s optional to add a tincture of Echinacea. I would do this in the winter months or for kids age 2-6, as they are most prone to catching viral infections.

Echinacea Benefits:

reduce cold & flu symptoms
controls blood sugar
increases number of white blood cells that fight infection
