  1. Lemon verbena for the nerves a heat dome frayed.

    A teaspoon of dried leaf, or a small handful fresh, steeped five minutes with a lid on so the oils don't escape. Bright and candied, no caffeine, easy on a churning stomach. The French call it verveine.

  2. Mullein safety note: some people are said to be sensitive to the tiny hairs on the fuzzy leaves. These people will want to filter their mullein tea through a coffee filter. Online herbals usually say this is mandatory but I have never had a problem with unfiltered mullein tea personally.
