Lemon balm is a mint with a distinctly lemony scent. Its botanical name, Melissa, is taken from the Greek word for bee, indicative of the plant's attractive power for bees and useful insects of all kinds. The term balm refers to balsam, the ancient world's most important sweet-smelling oils. For thousands of years herbalists used lemon balm to treat any kind of disorder of the central nervous system. I (Kamala) have found a tea of this herb invaluable for calming extreme emotional states. It is comforting, relaxing, and safe for children, who tend to like its lemony taste. It is ideal for whining, crying, and general hysteria. It can also be used for fevers and colds, as a sedative which helps one get to sleep comfortably. | |
