Abstract

Melissa Officinalis, a native of the eastern Mediterranean, flourishes in Albania as well. For many years, the leaves of lemon balm, Melissa officinalis L (Lamiaceae), have been utilised in Albanian traditional medicine to treat a variety of diseases. Their role is widely recognised in disorders such as gastrointestinal issues. Melissa officinalis stimulates the liver's production of digestive enzymes, which aids digestion and has antispasmodic, sedative, analgesic, tonic, and diuretic properties.
