Bergamot Herb (Monarda) – Immune, Respiratory & Emotional Support

Bergamot Herb (Monarda fistulosa), also called Bee Balm or Wild Bergamot, is a fragrant, antimicrobial powerhouse traditionally used by Indigenous and folk healers to support the respiratory system, ease digestion, and uplift the emotions.

Its natural antiviral and antibacterial properties make it a go-to herb during seasonal colds and flus, and its calming aroma is known to help soothe stress and anxiety.
