Very interesting. For about 8 weeks this winter my muscles hurt so bad that it felt like I was back in college and just gone through the first grueling practice of the season. Every muscle in my body felt as though there were a build up of lactic acid for no apparent reason, and it hurt 24 hours a day. I wondered if it was going to be a permanent part of my life...firbromyalgia, MS, etc.
Now, the pain is mostly gone. I keep home remedies on hand and I can’t remember if I took lemon balm either as a tea or glycerite. It helps me to relax at night. I do take it but don’t remember if it was right before the pain started to go away.
A bout with herpes 1 landed my 2 year old in the hospital so we need to keep cold sores at bay in the rest of us and so far, lemon balm has done that.
I had a similar experience, nagging pain in my bicept, tired muscles. I wonder if it was a component of a flu related illness minus the other symptoms, or something like that.
Of course on the other hand, it finally stopped snowing, and I stopped running the snow blower.
