October we are featuring Monarda fistulosa, sometimes called bee balm or wild bergamot. This plant can be grown in Vermont's plant hardiness zone and is a perennial. The aerial parts are used to make herbal honeys, vinegars, oxymels, salves, cough syrup, steam inhalation, tinctures and teas. A member of the mint family, monarda is warming and diffusive, has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions as well as being antispasmodic and a relaxing nervine. Common uses include cold and flu symptoms, topical fungal infections, digestive issues, mouth health, and skin wounds and burns.
