Melissa officinalis L.
Whole Flowers—available in 1 ounce or 1/2 ounce and packaged in a plastic pouch.
Lemon balm is a sweet, lemony scented herb in the mint family. The bushy plant can reach three feet in height and has tiny, indistinct ivory flowers. It's native to Europe and the Mediterranean region, and has been cultivated for over 2,000 years. Its subtle lemon flavor with mint and herb undertones makes it a popular relaxing tea. The botanical name, Melissa officinalis L., is derived from a Greek word for bees.
This plant is great for attracting bees; at one time, beekeepers commonly rubbed fresh lemon balm leaves on the inside of new hives to encourage bees to stay. Our premium quality lemon balm leaf is dried quickly and at low light and temperature to preserve color and maintain the characteristic aroma and flavor.
History + Folklore
Melissa is a generic Greek word for Honey Bee.
It is said that its powers were so great that if it was attached to a sword that had made a wound the blood would be immediately staunched.
Magickal
Love, Success, Healing
Feminine, Moon, Water
Lemon Balm is used in healing sachets and success sachets.
If you want a new project or goal to take off quickly, try incorporating this fresh, youthful herb into your magical life.
Known for its invasive, tenacious nature, lemon balm takes over gardens quickly. But beware! Using lemon balm in magic often works too well.
Especially nice to keep on hand for rituals you plan later in the month to honor moon goddesses and deities.
Warnings: No known precautions.
