What does it do? Extracts from lemon balm are said to have stimulant, digestive and sedative properties, and to act as a tonic for the heart, brain and peptic system. Lemon balm tea is reputed to have blood pressure normalising properties. In cooking, lemon balm is used for stuffings and in egg dishes. Though the flower tubes of lemon balm are too long to allow bees to forage, bees find a paste made from crushed leaves irresistible. A swarm of bees can be attracted to a convenient locate by smearing such a paste onto an object. Rubbing the hands with lemon balm prevents bees from stinging. A strong decoction of fresh leaves, either with other herbs or on its own adds a lovely fragrance to bath water. An infusion of lemon balm soothes and softens irritations of the skin and smooths wrinkles. The juice of leaves can be used for insect bites.
