what’s good in y’alls hood?!

Your fave bougie aunties are back at it again with the herbal carminatives, bay-bee! This week we’re discussing one of Asia’s favorite herbs… Lemon Balm, also know by its botanical name Melissa Officianalis! Typically known for its anti-anxiety effects, lemon balm is also a great carminative because the mind and gut have a deep-seated connection. 

So, without any further ado… let’s grab our walking shoes and your headphones, head out the door to your favorite walking trail/park/neighborhood/etc. and press play for today’s amazing episode!
