{"product_id":"831310-1","title":"Lemon balm","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat stands out first is its beautiful, deeply incised, grey-green foliage with a strong lemon aroma. It is a Southern European plant, which, like lavender and rosemary, is actually a shrub (woody), but in our climate, it rejuvenates itself through annual pruning. Place the plant in a sunny and not too wet spot, and it will be your companion for years! Its slightly bitter aftertaste was a reason in the Middle Ages to incorporate the plant into rich dishes for better digestion. Not a bad choice, as moderate use is good for the gastrointestinal tract. A yellow dye is extracted from the plant. In 1792, absinthe, made from lemon herb among other ingredients, was invented by a French doctor. It was intended as a medicine but became a popular drink. The famous herbal liqueur was temporarily banned due to its calming side effect, which was mistrusted; a tea made from lemon herb (and additions for taste) is still calming. Excess can be harmful!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-START --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNames:\u003cbr\u003e\nLatin: Artemisia abrotanum\u003cbr\u003e\nDutch: Citroenkruid\u003cbr\u003e\nAlso known as: Limoenkruid, Averoon\u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish: Southernwood, Lad's Love, Southern Wormwood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"1 plant","offer_id":44176150396981,"sku":"831310.1","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/339500.jpg?v=1750782595","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en-eu\/products\/831310-1","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
