Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a lemon-scented member of the mint family that has been used in Western herbal traditions for centuries. It's traditionally used to support relaxation, ease nervous tension, and encourage restful sleep. The dried leaves brew into a gentle, slightly sweet, lemony tea that's caffeine-free and easy to drink any time of day.
• Pregnancy & breastfeeding — speak with your GP or healthcare provider before regular use.
• Medication interactions — if you're taking sedatives or thyroid medication, check with your healthcare provider first, as lemon balm may interact.
• Storage — keep in a sealed jar in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to preserve aroma.

1–2 teaspoons dried leaves per 250ml hot water (just off the boil). Cover and steep 5–10 minutes, then strain. Covering keeps the aromatic oils in the cup. Enjoy 30–60 minutes before bed for an evening wind-down ritual.
Steep 2–3 tablespoons dried leaves in 1 litre of cold water in the fridge overnight. Strain and serve over ice. Cold-brewing produces a lighter, more refreshing flavour — perfect for hot summer days.
Blend with chamomile and lavender for a classic bedtime tea. For deeper relaxation support, pair with passionflower. Lemon balm's lemony note balances chamomile's slightly bitter edge beautifully.
Lemon balm leaves work as a culinary herb too — sprinkle dried leaves into salad dressings, fruit salads, or honey for a subtle lemon-mint flavour. Also pairs well with summer cocktails and mocktails.
