Favourite herbal blends

So it took me a while till I made an unbiased mixture true to my inner sense:

20g rosemary
20g lavender
20g agrimony
10g wormwood
20g mint
20g melissa

Only wormwood being a half of standard measure. This way you get a tea that you can infuse 15min or even longer and still the bitter taste of wormwood will not take entirely over.

Most of this tea helps to cleanse the digestive tract, a bit of help to intestine and if you drink a lot and hold it, also urine tracts. That's just my opinion. I'm drinking it for the taste and purification, also some consistent fortitude.

Looks like Melissa officinalis is what you call lemon balm.

Mint is so delicious. If you put mint and wormwood with lavender you won't even know about the bitterness of wormwood.
Blend I noted is mostly for digestive tract and might be suitable just for those of similar body tuning like I have.
Making good herbal blends is like cooking. You observe flavours and mix them.

What would go well with rosemary?
