Title: Melissa Officinalis Herb: 20 Filter Bags – Horst

Enhanced Text (English)

Melissa officinalis, also known as lemon balm, derives its name from the Greek word for “bee,” reflecting its ability to calm bees. Simply rubbing fresh lemon balm on your hands will prevent bees from becoming agitated—a technique often employed by beekeepers. This calming effect extends to humans, soothing the nervous system.

The properties of lemon balm have been recognized and utilized since the time of Avicenna. His writings describe its ability to strengthen the body, invigorate, calm nerves, relieve brain congestion, and eliminate bad breath.

Today, scientific research corroborates these traditional uses. Lemon balm is a key ingredient in many pharmaceutical herbal blends for calming and cardiovascular support. It’s also recommended as a standalone remedy for migraines, flatulence, nausea, and stomach cramps.

A lemon balm infusion makes an excellent mouthwash, killing pathogenic bacteria while freshening breath and eliminating bad odor. It’s also recommended for sleep disorders and nervous excitability.
