This delicious plant of the mint family, so loved by bees, is somewhat of a panacea. Lemon Balm gets their Latin name Melissa from her association with bees, as the Greek translation of “Melissa” means “honeybee.” Lemon Balm is known to soothe ailments of the belly such as indigestion, gas, and bloating, as well as induce sweating to reduce fever. It is a gentle nervine with a green yet lemony flavor that has been said to support mild depression; perhaps the scent and taste alone is enough to uplift down feelings!
Due to the gentle yet affective nature of Lemon Balm and the delicious taste, this herb is a wonderful remedy for restless children or wee ones with a belly ache or fever.
