Details

Holy basil, revered for its adaptogenic properties, calms the mind by reducing stress and anxiety levels, helping to restore mental balance and clarity.
Lemon balm supports the immune system by offering potent antiviral and antibacterial properties, which can help ward off infections and strengthen the body's natural defenses.
Mint aids digestion by relaxing the muscles of the stomach, reducing inflammation, and promoting the flow of bile, which helps in the more efficient breakdown of fats.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to grow?

Holy Basil seeds take 5-10 days to sprout; Lemon Balm seeds take 14-28 to sprout; Mint seeds take 7-14 to sprout

How much sun will it need?

Herbs thrive in temps 72°-90°F and with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight (an unobstructed south or west-facing window is best). Starting in Mar-Sept will provide longer days and thus optimal light. If starting during cooler months, it’s recommended that you supplement natural light with a grow light (fluorescent or LED).

Can I put it outside?

This Grow Kit is designed for indoor use but you can transplant your herbs outdoors into a container or the ground.

How do I dry the herbs to make tea?

Dry your herbs to have a stash ready when you need a pick-me-up. Gather your herbs, give them a gentle rinse to remove any dirt and tie them together in small bunches using kitchen twine. Hang upside down until completely dry, about 1-2 weeks. Store dried herbs in an air tight container for up to 1 year.

Can I use the mug as a mug?

Yes, the mug is Food Safe Certified.
