[Lemon balm / Citronmeliss (S) / Melissa officinalis] Lemon balm was believed to protect against illnesses and to keep your body healthy in general. It was also seen as a love herb – if wine was spiced with lemon balm and then given to your loved one, it would evoke love in them. It has a calming, relaxing effect.
