The Melissa plant is popular as lemon balm due to its refreshing lemony scent. One of the oldest known herbal medicines, its name Melissa derives from the Ancient Greek word for honeybee. The Melissa water is a lighter, more floral version of the essential oil. To mind and soul, Lemon balm water has a mood lifting, anxiety-relieving, harmonizing, and invigorating effect.
