Lemon Balm Leaf (Melissa officinalis)

BOTANICAL NAME

Melissa officinalis

COMMON NAMES

Lemon Balm, Melissa, Balm, Baum

FAMILY

Lamiaceae (Labiatae)

Balm is a native of France, but naturalised in England and the United States. It grows in fields, along road-sides, and is well known as a garden plant, flowering from May to August. The whole plant is used and should be collected prior to flowering. In a fresh state it has a lemon-like odour, which is nearly lost by drying. Its taste is aromatic, faintly astringent, with a degree of persistent bitterness. Boiling water extracts its virtues.

Traditionally used to support those with heavy periods, relaxation and digestive health. Loose chopped dried leaf supplied.
