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.

Great Slim iPad Case – Secure Fit & Easy to Use
Color: Black, Size: ipad 9th/ 8th/ 7th gen 10.2 inch, Color: Black, Size: ipad 9th/ 8th/ 7th gen 10.2 inch
This is a really nice iPad case and worked perfectly as a replacement for my old one that was falling apart.
I have an Apple iPad 9th Generation (10.2 inch), and this case fit perfectly. The cutouts for the camera, volume buttons, power button, and charging port all line up exactly as they should.
The iPad snaps into the case easily by gently pressing it into the rounded corners, and once installed it feels very secure with no slipping or falling out. The case is very lightweight also.
I also had no issues accessing or using any of the buttons while the case was on.
One of my favorite features is the automatic sleep/wake function—closing the cover puts the iPad into sleep mode, which helps save battery life.
I chose the black version, and it has a clean, simple look. For the price, I think it’s a great value.
Overall, this is a slim, functional, and well-fitting iPad case that I definitely recommend!

Amazing color and durability, great closure, not a lot of padding but I didn’t need it. It does not have the pencil holder but is a great iPad case over, easy fit and button accesses

Good cover for the price
Color: Black, Size: ipad 9th/ 8th/ 7th gen 10.2 inch
Perfect fit to my 9th generation iPad. It was easy to install. The back is plastic which I haven’t seen. It does what it says as far standing up with the foldable back. Seems like good quality. I gave it a 4 because I don’t know how long the back with last since it’s not standard backing.
