A member of the mint family with a pleasing lemony scent, lemon balm is truly a genial and easy-to-love plant. Essential oils and extracts from lemon balm are used in perfumery, alternative medicine, and aromatherapy. With a mild herbal taste and citrus notes, lemon balm makes a gentle, relaxing tea that relieves tension and occasional indigestion. Its scientific name“Melissa officinalis is from the Greek word Melissa for “honey bee” because bees are wildly attracted to it.
