Bergamot Beebalm🐝 (Mondara Fistulosa) 1 L Container

Bee Balm / Bergamot (Monarda spp.)
Native to North America, Bee Balm was a prized medicine of many Indigenous peoples, later adopted by early settlers as a tea substitute during the Boston Tea Party. Its vibrant flowers and strong aroma have long made it a favorite of both healers and pollinators.

Herbally, Bee Balm is a diffusive nervine, carminative, antimicrobial, and diaphoretic, helping to ease anxiety, support digestion, clear infections, and promote gentle sweating during fevers. Key constituents include thymol, carvacrol, rosmarinic acid, and essential oils, which give it its spicy, uplifting fragrance and strong medicinal action.

Energetically, Bee Balm is warming, drying, and stimulating, making it especially helpful where coldness, stagnation, or dampness slow down the system—whether in digestion, circulation, or mood.

In traditional correspondences, Bee Balm is linked with Mars, the element of Fire, and is considered a masculine herb, bringing energy, vitality, and courage.

Bee Balm is a perennial plant with bright red, pink, or purple flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The leaves and flowers are best harvested in midsummer at peak bloom, when oils and fragrance are strongest.

⚠ Cautions: Generally safe in moderate amounts. Its strong essential oils may cause stomach upset in sensitive individuals. Avoid large doses during pregnancy.
