Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a hardy, fragrant perennial herb in the mint family. Famous for its distinct citrus aroma, it features bright green, heart-shaped leaves, square stems, and small white flowers. It is highly valued in cooking, herbal medicine, and gardening.
Historically, it has been used by herbalists as a gentle, calming agent. It works by influencing GABA receptors in the nervous system to promote relaxation and help soothe mild anxiety.
The dried leaves make a refreshing herbal tisane on it's own or added to custom tea blends.
