$6.95
Lemon balm, also known as “Sweet Melissa," is a perennial member of the mint family native to Europe and the Mediterranean region.
This herb has a long history of recorded use dating back more than 2,000 years. Theophrastus, a scholar and student of Aristotle and Plato, referred to the plant as “honey leaf,” perhaps a reference to its being highly attractive to bees. Both the ancient Greeks and Romans dedicated lemon balm to the goddesses Artemis and Diana, respectively.
Nelson's lemon balm bulk herb is cut and sifted, with a fresh green color and excellent aromatic quality. It makes a lovely standalone infusion and blends beautifully with chamomile, lavender, peppermint, and passionflower.
