NOW ON THE TURNTABLE / 01
Melissa officinalis L.
A voice. A plant. A little more perspective.
Welcome to Soléa’s botanical minutes. Today, meet lemon balm. This herbarium profile focuses on the leaves. A small plant, and a lovely reason to stop scrolling for a moment.
Lemon balm has traditional uses for mild symptoms of stress, as a sleep aid, and for minor digestive complaints such as bloating. Traditional use does not mean proven clinical effectiveness. And a tea, an extract and an essential oil are not interchangeable.
Before considering any use, remember that lemon balm may reduce alertness. Use is not recommended during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or under twelve years of age. If you take medicines, ask a pharmacist to check possible combinations. The full profile contains sources, preparation guidance and precautions. Curiosity is a good place to begin.

YOUR NOTEBOOK / 01
Lemon balm infusion — adults
Traditional use for mild stress, as a sleep aid and for minor digestive complaints. This does not establish clinical efficacy for this tea.
This guide restricts use to adults aged 18 and over. Do not use if allergic to lemon balm. Alertness may be impaired: do not drive or operate machinery if affected. Interaction data are unavailable; have concurrent medicines reviewed. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: not recommended because safety data are insufficient. Seek advice with adverse reactions.
