Bright, calming, and gently aromatic, Lime Balm is a beloved member of the mint family prized for its uplifting citrus-mint scent and soothing herbal actions. Known botanically as Melissa officinalis (lime-scented cultivar), this vibrant plant has been used for centuries to calm the mind, support digestion, and ease the nervous system. At EverVeda, we grow and harvest our lime balm with devotion, ensuring every leaf carries the plant's full sweetness, vitality, and subtle citrus magic.

What Lime Balm Is Known For
