Lemon balm leaves come from the lemon balm plant, which has been known since the time of ancient Greece. Even back then, lemon balm was used for its ability to relieve stress and prevent insomnia and burnout.

This leaf is very nutritious and has many beneficial properties:

• It's a honey plant, which means it naturally produces nectar that bees love
• She has therapeutic benefits : aids digestion, reduces stress, fights viruses, etc.
• in herbal medicine, it is widely used for its calming and relaxing properties
• Finally, lemon balm leaves contain undeniable culinary merits : It adds a refreshing flavor to all your dishes (meat, poultry, fish, salads, etc.) and is often used to make herbal tea.

Its aroma (almost lemony when the leaves are crushed) is both astringent and light, and it will complement your herbal teas (as well as relieve your ailments).

Did you know? Melisse is also a first name celebrated on May 25! It gave rise to a much more common first name: Melissa.

Lemon Balm is also a revolutionary but fairly rare first name. It was first given in 1982 (three times), and since then has been given about fifteen times a year. The name day is on May 25 (6 Prairial)⁸. See also Melissa.
