LEMON BALM (Melissa officinalis)

Lemon balm, a perennial from the mint family, has heart-shaped leaves and has been used and enjoyed throughout the ages by gardeners, doctors, lovers, and bees alike. A symbolic plant, lemon balm was used to transmit messages between lovers; it signified sympathy, perhaps due to the soothing effects of its tea. Easily cultivated, this herb has been used in medicines and cosmetics, and in cooking whenever a subtle lemon flavor was needed.

Also known as a "bee herb," lemon balm was originally from the Middle East, known throughout Europe, and one of the first herbs brought over by the colonists, used for medicinal purposes and flavoring. The Greeks found the herb useful in keeping bees from straying from the hive. The Latin name Melissa comes from the Greek word for bees. A Swiss physician in the 16th century proclaimed lemon balm to be a "fountain of youth;" the lemony herb would restore new life to those who ingested it. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone had lemon balm growing in their gardens. There were reports that in the 16th century Britishers who had drunk lemon balm tea ("Melissa tea") lived to be 100 or older.
