General - Verbena also known as lemon verbena, is a handsome deciduous perennial shrub up to 5m high with a woody stem, very fragrant, delicate, pale green, lanceolate leaves arranged in threes, and small pale purple flowers. Often grown as an ornamental bush in gardens, the uses of lemon verbena are similar to those of mint, orange flowers and
melissa (lemonbalm). Native to Chile and Argentina, it is now cultivated in the Mediterranean region - France, Tunisia, Algeria - as well as Kenya and China. The essential oil is from the harvested herb, and is produced mainly in southern France and North Africa.

Uses - Verbena essential oil has been used for cramps, indigestion, liver congestion,
anxiety, insomnia, nervous tension and stress related conditions. The dried leaves are still used as a popular household tea in Europe as a

colognes.
