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.

Excellent summary of a major scientific breakthrough that turns many accepted scientific paradigms upside down. Dr DeMeo's brilliant work allows the layman to grasp a completely new cosmology with direct and practical applications in daily life. Also Dr. DeMeo's brilliant work allows scientists to rethink those tenets at the foundation of current scientific worldviews and transcend those paradigms which are holding back real progress.Cheers to James DeMeo and, of course, Wilhem Reich's genius and unflinching courage, one more of history's crucified Jesuses.

empowers readers to take their first confident steps toward change
Format: Hardcover
In Drama Free, therapist and bestselling author Nedra Glover Tawwab addresses the emotionally charged dynamics of dysfunctional family relationships with clarity and compassion. Rooted in her experience as a licensed therapist, Tawwab outlines the ways that unhealthy patterns—such as manipulation, enmeshment, neglect, or boundary violations—can shape our adult lives. Through digestible chapters and relatable examples, she encourages readers to recognize harmful dynamics and begin the work of detachment and healing. This is not a textbook, but rather a conversation starter, meant to normalize difficult realizations and introduce healthier ways of engaging with family.
The book’s strength lies in its practicality. Tawwab’s tone is warm yet firm, offering readers common-sense strategies for setting boundaries, reducing contact when necessary, and managing guilt associated with stepping away from toxic behaviors. While she does not go into deep psychological theory, her approach is grounded in self-awareness and personal accountability. Readers are encouraged to name their experiences, resist minimization, and begin advocating for themselves—even if that means redefining what family connection should look like.
The key takeaway from Drama Free is that peace is a choice, and one we are allowed to make—even when it means going against cultural or familial expectations. Tawwab provides a solid foundation for anyone beginning the journey of healing from family dysfunction. Though the book may not satisfy those looking for an in-depth clinical guide, it offers enough wisdom and structure to empower readers to take their first confident steps toward change. It's an accessible and affirming read that underscores the power of healthy boundaries and self-respect.
