Organic lemon balm – nature’s skin-soothing treatment


Lemon balm has a tradition as a healing plant that dates back hundreds of years. Its leaves, and the essential oil that they contain, have been used for centuries as a remedy to treat complaints such as anxiety, sleep disturbances and nervous gastrointestinal disorders. It has for a long time been considered an exceptional means by which to lift the spirit. In natural skin care, it impresses primarily on account of its relaxing effect and even its antiviral properties.

Summer herb with a citrus-fresh aroma

Common balm, or “lemon balm” as it is known on account of its citrus-fresh fragrance, belongs to the labiate family. It is a perennial plant with small flowers, which grows up to a height of 1.5 metres. Among others, its components include essential lemon balm oil, which is composed primarily of citral, citronellal and linalool and gives the lemon balm its fresh, lemony scent. Lemon balm also contains flavonoids, polyphenols and tannins. Did you know that the name “melissa” originally stems from Greek? The term “melissa” can be traced back to the Greek word for “bees”. The reason is simple: this plant is very popular with bees.
