Lemon balm, scientifically called melissa officinalis, is a perennial herb in the mint family, prized for its aromatic and therapeutic properties. Renowned for its mild lemon scent and soothing qualities, lemon balm is commonly used to prepare teas, tinctures, and essential oils. In the culinary realm, lemon balm serves as a delightful flavor enhancer in beverages, salads, and desserts. Beyond its culinary appeal, it is highly valued in traditional and modern medicine for alleviating stress, promoting relaxation, and supporting digestive health, making it a versatile addition to various industries.

The surging consumer inclination towards natural and plant-based remedies is a perennial driver for the lemon balm market. As individuals increasingly seek herbal alternatives for managing stress, anxiety, and sleep disorders, lemon balm has gained widespread recognition as an effective and gentle solution. Additionally, the rising awareness of its anti-viral properties, particularly in promoting immune health, has further amplified its demand. In line with this, the burgeoning trend of wellness tourism and herbal spas incorporating lemon balm in aromatherapy and skin treatments is also contributing significantly to market growth. The herb’s adoption in the functional foods and beverages sector is another growth-inducing factor, as manufacturers innovate with herbal teas, supplements, and infused beverages to cater to health-conscious consumers.
