"Stinky gym socks" is the typical root smell, but I once made an alchemical spagyric medicine from it and must have done something right, because the result was sweet and the most pleasant tasting herbal I've ever made. Works fantastic for sleep (better than sleeping pills--no hangover effect) and lifts the mood in higher doses. Thanks for this history and linguistic analysis!!!
Love the description "stinky gym socks"! Sounds about right, LOL. Interesting you were able to improve on the flavour, that's fantastic. I use it as well sometimes for a good night's rest, but have to drink the water with the drops super quick as to not taste them too much! Pleased you liked the history.
According to the medieval alchemists, a correctly prepared medicine will turn sweeter. But it depends—some work BECAUSE they are bitter. There’s a chance I accidentally added the melissa “salt” back into the preparation, and that might have been the trick. But it worked medicinally and tasted nice!
