The Plantology Podcast
The podcast where we talk about the long standing presence of herbs throughout history, specifically folkloric tales. While many people write these off as just stories I believe there is knowledge embedded within these stories that nowadays can so easily be brushed off as just that, stories. However hidden within all of these tales are great traditions and healing medicines for both the physical body and the spiritual mind.

2. Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)
In today’s episode we discuss the many historical uses that are still relevant today of the lovely Lemon Balm.
Melissa officinalis contains nerol which is similar to the nerolic acid found in Nasonov pheromones which is emitted by worker bees to attract bees back to the hive as well as by the queen when she feels the need to make the hive feel safe and calm.
