Bee Balm was known as the Elixir of Life. It is said that the plant is named after the Greek nymph Melissa, protectress of the bees. The name Melissa is said to be an abbreviation of the Latin name melissophyllum meaning bee plant or leaf. Melissa being a Latin derivation of the Greek word for honey bee. Officinalis indicates that the plant is medicinal in nature. Londoners of Elizabethan times would carry small bouquets, called Tussie Mussies, filled with aromatic herbs and flowers, including Lemon Balm, which they would frequently sniff to get rid of stench of the unsanitary conditions.
