Melissa is a perennial herb native to southern Europe, introduced to northern Europe by the Romans. The entire plant is fragrant, with a strong lemon odor.

The name lemon balm comes from the Greek word for bee, because it is irresistible to bees and has been cultivated for that purpose for centuries.

Melissa has been known and appreciated since ancient times. Theophrastus and Dioscorides wrote about melissophyllon (bee leaf) as emmenagogic, sedative and vulnerable. Avicenna recommended it as well as other Muslim and Arabic writers to treat melancholy and heart conditions.

Melissa's fame continues in France, as it was an ingredient in the Carmelite water, 'Eau de melisse des Carmes' distilled in Paris by monks from 1611. An early version of eau de cologne, the water was used as a digestive and antispasmodic and still finds a place in many French households.

Melissa oil is not common and is very expensive because 7 tons are needed to produce 1 kg of oil.

Dangers: The expense of producing lemon balm oil leads to counterfeiting, usually with citrus oils or lemongrass (also sometimes called lemon balm herb).
