Make melissa spirit yourself
When it tweaks at the front and bites at the back, Klosterfrau Melissengeist helps, very well-known, and yet seldom used by herself.
But you can easily make Melissengeist yourself, it does not take more than a few sprigs of lemon balm (which is often eaten today by the garden neighbor, because herbs are grown again) and a clear liquor with 40% volume.
In the words of my grandmother:
If the balm is to help you, put it clean in a bottle and refill the clear liquor. Close the bottle and shake it for 4 weeks, pour the contents of the bottle through a sieve into another bottle and store it in your medicine cupboard and when a cold is approaching, pour a shot glass of it into your tea.
You'll see, you'll get better soon!
