- General Information: Melissa leaf, also known as Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis), is a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region and Central Asia. It is characterized by its lemon-scented leaves and small white flowers. Melissa has been traditionally used for its calming and soothing properties, both in herbal medicine and culinary applications.

Optionally, you can sweeten the tea with honey or add a slice of lemon for extra flavor. Drinking a cup of Melissa tea before bedtime can help relax the mind and body, promoting restful sleep.
