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.

Excellent Air filter - Easy installation.
Style: BE-743 1-Pack
Excellent AC and Heater Cabinet odor defense air filter. I noticed immediately the smell coming out of the vents was fresher and the musty smell that was coming from the vents was crisper and cleaner. Very easy installation that you can do yourself and don’t need to pay a shop to do. The price is one of the best online and coms in quickly. It’s very sturdy, filter quality is excellent and it definitely improves the air quality and flow in your car. Fits perfectly like any OEM filter, this is a great buy for the price of an installation that will take you Les then 10 minutes to do yourself.

Great filter and easy installation
Style: BE-159 1-Pack, Style: BE-159 1-Pack
For my 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited. I cannot believe I paid so much more for a brand-name filter that does the same thing as this one. It is made of the same material as the dealer one I took out. Very easy to install, cant believe I paid for this to be done in the past with oil changes. Requires no tools and did not get dirty at all. No mechanical skills needed, especially if you run into trouble and can use YouTube. PROS - great quality, cannot tell that it is after-market - very professionally made, not irregularities seen - excellent fit in position, no adjustment needed - very easy to install, cannot believe I paid to have this done in the past - no mechanical skills needed to install - great price compared to what big name productions want for the same thing - cannot tell the difference in air quality between this and the dealer filter I took out - removes outside odor completely - did not require tools are getting dirty CONS - None

Fits perfect and works as designed. Flows like OEM and looks well made.
Style: BE-553B 1-Pack
This filter is very comparable to the stock filter. Fits the BMW G20 just like OEM. I would not say it is two times "heavier" as advertised on the box, but it is very comparable to stock. It's the same weight and similar construction. BMW has a very robust cabin filter. This will be my go to. I did purchase another aftermarket cabin filter that fit well, but was thin, flimsy and had a bad chemical odor. This one is fine and airflow is the same as OEM. I change them every year or so. I don't worry too much about longevity with cabin filters personally.
