Native to the Mediterranean, lemon balm is a lemon scented and flavored herb that belongs to the mint family. The use of lemon balm dates back thousands of years to the times of ancient Romans and Greeks. The relationship between astrology and herbalism was highly regarded in ancient medicine practices. According to a historical botanist and astrologer, lemon balm is ruled by the planet Jupiter, and has an association with the element of water, which impacts emotions. The herb has been referred to as "elixir virae", or the elixir of life, and throughout history has been used to chase off melancholy and even soothe heartbreak.
Modern scientific evidence suggests that lemon balm promotes gastrointestinal health, which explains why it is regarded as an herb to lift spirits. After all, a happy belly = a happy mind.
Studies suggest regularly consuming the herb may promote overall wellness and longevity due to its high antioxidant content.
