Herbal Tea Blend – 102 g

Lemon Balm | Peppermint | Elderflower

Gentle Mother’s Strength is a mild, aromatic herbal blend created for those who appreciate soft flavours and a gentle herbal profile. It combines lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), peppermint (Mentha × piperita) and elderflower (Sambucus nigra)—botanicals long used in traditional European herbal infusions.

This blend is often chosen by people who prefer delicate herbal teas, including during periods when someone may wish to keep their herbal routine especially gentle—also during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The carefully selected proportions create a balanced infusion: fresh and lightly minty on one side, and soft, floral and soothing in taste on the other.

Properties of the ingredients

🌿 Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis)

Lemon balm leaves contain naturally occurring plant compounds including essential oil (typically in small amounts), polyphenols (including phenolic acids), flavonoids and tannins. In herbal literature, lemon balm is traditionally associated with infusions used to support calmness and comfort during times of tension, and it is also valued in blends taken “after meals” due to its classic use in the area of digestive comfort.

🌿 Peppermint (Mentha × piperita)

Peppermint leaves are known for their essential oil content, with menthol often considered a characteristic component, as well as for the presence of tannins and flavonoids. In herbal sources, peppermint is traditionally described as a botanical used in infusions supporting digestive comfort, especially in blends enjoyed after heavier meals.

Peppermint also brings a distinctive fresh aroma and a clean, bright taste that is widely appreciated in herbal teas.

🌿 Elderflower (Sambucus nigra)

Elderflowers contain naturally occurring flavonoids, essential oils, organic acids and plant mucilage. In traditional herbal practice, elderflower is described as an ingredient of infusions associated with diaphoretic (sweat-supporting) traditions, and it is also used in blends supporting the body’s natural cleansing processes.

Elderflower gives the infusion a soft, slightly honeyed floral note and rounds out the overall flavour.

Why these herbs complement each other

This blend works like three layers in one cup:

• Lemon balm creates a soft herbal base and is traditionally linked with calmness and end-of-day comfort.
• Peppermint brings freshness and the classic “after-meal” direction, often found in blends for digestive comfort.
• Elderflower adds a gentle floral character and a traditional seasonal herbal context.

In taste, the blend is both mild and expressive: lemon balm softens the profile, peppermint brightens it, and elderflower adds a smooth floral finish.

The botanicals in this blend naturally contain a wide range of plant compounds described in herbal literature, including:

Practical note: mineral content in herbs is naturally variable and is not standardised in the same way as dedicated mineral supplements.
