Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), a member of the mint family, is considered a calming herb. It was used as far back as the Middle Ages to help reduce stress and anxiety, promote sleep, improve appetite, and ease pain and discomfort from indigestion (including gas and bloating, as well as colic).

Discussion: Indigenous to the mountain regions of Southern Europe, lemon balm is now a common plant found in gardens everywhere. There is an old myth that this fragrant herb attracts honey bees more than other plants, giving it the nickname of "bee balm". The flavorful leaves enjoy culinary appreciation, especially in the form of a refreshing tea. In Medieval times, drinks with lemon balm were thought to comfort the heart and lift the spirits. Today, a variety of uses exist both internally and topically.
