Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)

Organically grown by Ritual Botanica

✧ Herbal Energetics & Traditional Uses

Lemon balm has long been cherished as a gentle nervine and mood-soother, traditionally used to calm the heart, uplift the spirit, and ease digestive discomfort tied to tension. It was often steeped as tea for those feeling scattered, heavy-hearted, or overstimulated. I love this one for focus in situations there is lack of.

Energetically, lemon balm is cooling, slightly drying, and diffusive. It has been turned to when thoughts loop, sleep won’t come, or emotions feel tightly coiled. Known to gladden the heart and quiet the belly, this plant is a trusted friend for those needing lightness and rest.

✧ Magical & Energetic Properties

In magical traditions, lemon balm is an herb of joy, heart-clearing, and gentle protection. Ruled by the sun, it is said to dispel melancholy and invite warmth back into the emotional field. It has been used in love spells, dream pillows, and grief rituals—offering clarity without overwhelm.

It speaks in soft notes: come back to center, let joy return, move gently.
