The word Balm is an abbreviation of Balsam, the chief of sweet-smelling oils.  Melissa was highly esteemed by Paracelsus, who believed it would completely revivify a man.  Melissa essential oil was formerly esteemed of great use in all complaints supposed to proceed from a disordered state of the nervous system. The London Dispensary (1696) says: 'An essence of Lemon Balm, given in Canary wine, every morning will renew youth, strengthen the brain, relieve languishing nature and prevent baldness.' John Evelyn wrote: ' Lemon Balm is sovereign for the brain, strengthening the memory and powerfully chasing away melancholy.'  Lemon Balm steeped in wine we are told again, 'comforts the heart and drives away melancholy and sadness.' Formerly a spirit of Balm, combined with lemon-peel, nutmeg and angelica root, enjoyed a great reputation under the name of Carmelite water, being deemed highly useful against nervous headache and neuralgic affections.
