Lemon balm is a perennial herbaceous plant in the mint family and native to south-central Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, Iran, and Central Asia, but now naturalised elsewhere. It grows to a maximum height of 1 m. The leaves have a mild lemon scent. During summer, small white flowers full of nectar appear.

Melissa officinalis is native to Europe, central Asia and Iran, but is now naturalized around the world. It grows easily from seed, preferring rich, moist soil.

Lemon balm seeds require light and a minimum temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) to germinate. The plant grows in clumps and spreads vegetatively (a new plant can grow from a fragment of the parent plant), as well as by seed. In mild temperate zones, the plant stems die off at the start of the winter, but shoot up again in spring. Lemon balm grows vigorously.

As of 1992, Hungary, Egypt, and Italy are the major producing countries of lemon balm. The leaves are harvested by hand in June and August in the northern hemisphere, on a day when the weather is dry, to prevent the crop from turning black if damp.

The leaves are used as an herb, in teas and also as a flavouring. The plant is used to attract bees for honey production. It is grown as an ornamental plant and for its oil (to use in perfumery). Lemon balm has been cultivated at least since the 16th century.

Historical use:
The use of lemon balm can be dated to over 2000 years ago through the Greeks and the Romans. It is mentioned by the Greek polymath Theophrastus in his Historia Plantarum, written in c.300 BC, as "honey-leaf" (μελισσόφυλλον). Lemon balm was formally introduced into Europe in the 7th century, from which its use and domestication spread. Its use in the Middle Ages is noted by herbalists, writers, philosophers, and scientists.

Lemon balm was a favourite plant of the Tudors, who scattered the leaves across their floors. It was in the herbal garden of the English botanist John Gerard in the 1590s,[page needed] who considered it especially good for feeding and attracting honeybees. Especially cultivated for honey production, according to the authors Janet Dampney and Elizabeth Pomeroy, "bees were thought never to leave a garden in which it was grown". It was introduced to North America by the first colonists from Europe; it was cultivated in the Gardens of Monticello, designed by the American statesman Thomas Jefferson.

The English botanist Nicholas Culpeper considered lemon balm to be ruled by the planet Jupiter in Cancer, and suggested it to be used for "weak stomachs", to cause the heart to become "merry", to help digestion, to open "obstructions of the brain", and to expel "melancholy vapors" from the heart and arteries.

In traditional Austrian medicine, M. officinalis leaves have been prescribed as a herbal tea, or as an external application in the form of an essential oil.

Obsessed With This Ultra Soft, Fluffy, Cozy Blanket
Color: 02 Crystal Pink, Size: Twin (60" x 80"), Color: 02 Crystal Pink, Size: Twin (60" x 80")
I absolutely love this blanket. I ordered the crystal pink color in the 60x80 size to use as a throw blanket for my new cloud couch in my office, and honestly it ended up being exactly what I was hoping for. The material is incredibly soft, fluffy, and comfortable without feeling thin or cheaply made. I’ve actually been searching for another blanket similar to one I previously owned that eventually got a hole in it, and this one gave me that same cozy feeling immediately. It’s one of those blankets you instantly want to curl up in the second you touch it. One thing I really liked is that the bubble texture actually has dimension and volume to it. A lot of blankets advertised with this kind of design end up looking flat in person, but this one genuinely has that plush “bubble” effect and makes the blanket feel extra cozy and luxurious. The size is also great. It’s large enough to comfortably use on a couch while still being big enough for a twin bed if you wanted to use it that way. For me personally, it’s the perfect oversized throw blanket size. I honestly have nothing negative to say about it. The quality feels great, the stitching looks well done, the color is beautiful, and overall it feels thoughtfully made rather than cheaply mass produced. For around $25, I absolutely think it’s worth it. This has easily become one of my favorite cozy blankets in the house.

Mediocre and lacks required fabric content label
Color: 01 Off White, Size: Twin (60" x 80"), Color: 01 Off White, Size: Twin (60" x 80")
I am a "blanket person," meaning I love to be cozy, curled up on the couch, watching movies with my family, and using many different layers and types of blankets on my bed for different seasons. I was excited to order this 3D bubble fleece blanket by Lotus Karen because I have another 3D bubble fleece throw blanket that I absolutely love. The other one has a sherpa lining, which makes it a bit too warm for warmer seasons. This one by Lotus Karen is unlined, which I expected as the listing doesn't say it is lined. However, I'm feeling let down over the softness of the fleece compared to my other one. They all look similar in list photos, but they do not feel the same. After I unfurled this one onto my bed to let it fluff up, which it did after 90-minutes, but instead of the pile feeling plush and silky (like faux rabbit) this one feels more rough. It's not as high quality fleece, even though it looks the same in photos. Undeterred, I still really wanted to like this blanket and went to put it into the laundry, hoping it would bring out the best in it. However, I noticed that there is no fabric content label at all. Not just missing care instructions, but no label of any kind. Under the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Textile Products Identification Act, it is a violation of United States federal law to sell a textile product that fails to plainly disclose its constituent fiber percentages, country of origin, and registered manufacturer identity physically attached to the product. Having the information on the online listing does not meet this requirement. Because the material is somewhat mediocre, I would have given it three stars. But because it fails to meet basic consumer protection laws, it loses all.

VERY SOFT; MY DOG’S ALREADY APPROPRIATED IT
Color: 01 Off White, Size: Twin (60" x 80")
You know a blanket’s soft when my dog immediately tries to appropriate it. This is incredibly soft, and actually pretty light; it makes for a good spring or summer blanket, or a throw in addition to something else in colder weather. (The twin is big enough that you can double it up over yourself to make it thicker in colder months.) I’m not sure while it’s called a “bubble” blanket - there is a very gentle egg crate shape to it, but it’s not rigid at all, and not dual-layer or filled with air or anything. It’s a very comfy throw (my dog can also attest to that) and for ~$20 (at the time of this review), it’s a great deal. I haven’t noticed any shedding, either, but I’m going to wash it on as gentle a cycle I can, to be safe.

I WANT MORE!!
Size: 60" X 80", Color: Sage Green
I knew I'd probably like this blanket, but I wasn't ready to immediately fall in love with it! It's fluffy, it's soft, it's warm, it's comforting (like being hugged & held), it's dark (like blackout curtain dark), the color is vibrant (I got green), and it's machine washable & dryer safe with ZERO SHEDDING! I WANT MORE!!
