Botanical Name: Melissa officinalis
Country of Origin: Egypt
Also Known As: Lemon Balm Powder, Melissa officinalis Leaf Powder, Balm Mint Powder
Part Used: Aerial parts (primarily leaves) of Melissa officinalis, finely milled into powder
Description: Balm Lemon Herb Powder is made from the dried aerial parts of Melissa officinalis, a perennial member of the mint family native to southern Europe and now widely cultivated in temperate climates. The powder appears in shades of muted green to olive-green, with a fine, cohesive texture and a naturally mild, citrus-like aroma characteristic of the plant. Milling the dried herb into a uniform powder allows for easy dispersion in dry blends and botanical formulations.
Melissa officinalis is a bushy, herbaceous perennial typically reaching 60–90 cm in height and known for its bright green, serrated leaves and gentle lemon-like fragrance. When processed into powder, the herb retains its aromatic qualities and natural pigmentation. The material offers a consistent botanical colour and texture suitable for creative, aromatic, and craft-focused uses where uniformity is preferred.
Leaves and aerial parts are collected during their peak growth period, when colour and natural aromatic compounds are at their height. The harvested material is cleaned to remove natural field debris, then dried through warm-air or shade-drying methods designed to maintain the plant’s characteristic scent and colour. Once fully dried, the herb is milled into a fine powder and sifted to achieve an even grade. This process results in a smooth, free-flowing botanical powder composed solely of the plant’s dried aerial parts.
Uses: Balm Lemon Herb Powder is used in aromatic craft blends, natural dye experimentation, incense mixtures, potpourri compositions, and decorative botanical projects. Its fine texture allows it to integrate easily into dry formulations, colour-based craft recipes, and herb-based artistic work.
The powder’s consistent appearance and natural fragrance make it suitable for creative, educational, and display-oriented applications that use plant-derived powdered.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
