Melissa has been traditionally used for its calming and soothing properties, both in herbal medicine and culinary applications.
- Medicinal Use: Melissa leaf is prized for its potential medicinal benefits, particularly in promoting relaxation, reducing anxiety, and improving sleep quality. It contains compounds such as rosmarinic acid and flavonoids, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
