Lemon balm is a perennial herbaceous plant in the mint family and native to south-central Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, Iran, and Central Asia, but now naturalised elsewhere. It grows to a maximum height of 1 m. The leaves have a mild lemon scent. During summer, small white flowers full of nectar appear.

Melissa officinalis is native to Europe, central Asia and Iran, but is now naturalized around the world. It grows easily from seed, preferring rich, moist soil.

Lemon balm seeds require light and a minimum temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) to germinate. The plant grows in clumps and spreads vegetatively (a new plant can grow from a fragment of the parent plant), as well as by seed. In mild temperate zones, the plant stems die off at the start of the winter, but shoot up again in spring. Lemon balm grows vigorously.

As of 1992, Hungary, Egypt, and Italy are the major producing countries of lemon balm. The leaves are harvested by hand in June and August in the northern hemisphere, on a day when the weather is dry, to prevent the crop from turning black if damp.

The leaves are used as an herb, in teas and also as a flavouring. The plant is used to attract bees for honey production. It is grown as an ornamental plant and for its oil (to use in perfumery). Lemon balm has been cultivated at least since the 16th century.

Historical use:
The use of lemon balm can be dated to over 2000 years ago through the Greeks and the Romans. It is mentioned by the Greek polymath Theophrastus in his Historia Plantarum, written in c.300 BC, as "honey-leaf" (μελισσόφυλλον). Lemon balm was formally introduced into Europe in the 7th century, from which its use and domestication spread. Its use in the Middle Ages is noted by herbalists, writers, philosophers, and scientists.

Lemon balm was a favourite plant of the Tudors, who scattered the leaves across their floors. It was in the herbal garden of the English botanist John Gerard in the 1590s,[page needed] who considered it especially good for feeding and attracting honeybees. Especially cultivated for honey production, according to the authors Janet Dampney and Elizabeth Pomeroy, "bees were thought never to leave a garden in which it was grown". It was introduced to North America by the first colonists from Europe; it was cultivated in the Gardens of Monticello, designed by the American statesman Thomas Jefferson.

The English botanist Nicholas Culpeper considered lemon balm to be ruled by the planet Jupiter in Cancer, and suggested it to be used for "weak stomachs", to cause the heart to become "merry", to help digestion, to open "obstructions of the brain", and to expel "melancholy vapors" from the heart and arteries.

In traditional Austrian medicine, M. officinalis leaves have been prescribed as a herbal tea, or as an external application in the form of an essential oil.

I think they’re worth a try…
Size: X-Large, Color: Bluish Blue/White Stripe
Final determination will take a few months of wearing the shirts. First impressions, 1. styling is great. They look good. 2. When you l wash them, I suggest drying them all the way. They seem to wrinkle easier than other shirts I have. 3. Moisture wicking: on the few days where the weather has been warm, the shirt's seem to absorb the moisture from heat. 4. Fit: From my perspective I think the shirts are more of an athletic or modern fit, meaning a little more snug compared to other XL shirts I wear from Peter Millar or Footjoy or Fairway and Greene. I have broader shoulders. Quality: so far they seem ok. I’ve notice on a couple of shirts I needed to cut or trim loose threads from manufacturing process. The fabric seems good with a decent amount of stretch built into the design. Pricing: when you shop for big name brand golf shirts you pay a premium so these shirts, at around $30 a shirt, seem worth a try…I bought 5 different shirts so I’m hoping they prove to be worth it…

Comfortable and stylish
Size: X-Large, Color: Dark Blue Stripe
The shirt fits, stretches, doesn't wrinkle, and most importantly to me for a moisture wicking shirt, doesn't easily catch on things you brush up against and get little pulls in the fabric.

Great golf shirt!
Size: Small, Color: White/Light Blue Stripe
My son loves this shirt! It has silky smooth wrinkle-fabric and is nice and cool on the golf course. It is true to size, hangs well (no clinging) and allows full range of movement. It washes great! I wash and dry in the machine and stains come right out.

Beautiful colors, nice golf shirt
Size: XX-Large, Color: Aqua Blue Stripe
I always read reviews before I purchase and this golf shirt had positive ones. I ordered one so I could see the fit (true to size), and see how it laundered. Both are a thumbs up from me. Beautiful vibrant color, at a price comparable or less than what you might find in store. The SPF protection is a plus. I will be ordering more.
