Lemon balm, also known as Melissa officinalis, is an aromatic herb with a pleasant, slightly lemony aroma, traditionally used to prepare beverages with a mild soothing and relaxing effect. Its dried leaves retain their natural properties and offer a beneficial beverage that can be easily incorporated into everyday life.

It is widely used to relieve tension and stress, as well as to support digestion and sleep quality. It is often recommended in periods of increased nervousness or digestive discomfort, thanks to its mild but effective action.
