I chose the name Lemon Balm for my coaching business because I wanted to embrace my love of aromatics.

There is actually a plant that bears my name, Melissa.

Lemon Balm AKA Melissa officinalis, is an amazing botanical that has beautiful properties.

Salvatore Battaglia states that Lemon Balm “is sovereign for the brain, strengthens the memory and powerfully chases away melancholy.”

Lemon Balm is a beautiful remedy and provides a soothing influence on the Central Nervous System.  It is known for its antidepressant, hypotensive, nervine, sedative, and tonic properties.  It’s has an affinity for cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, skin, and immune issues.  It is gentle on the heart and is a beautiful oil to use in times of bereavement.

As a Life Coach I work with moms who are struggling through a variety of issues and this plant has the potential for so much  healing and comfort!
