Additionally, there have been studies done that have shown the herb to slightly inhibit the thyroid-stimulating hormone and restrict Graves disease, a hyperthyroid condition. Additionally, because it acts as a sedative, the leaves are also reputed to lower blood pressure.
In an ancient text of the Middle East recounting Azerbaijani folk medicine practices called the Tibbname, a bath in lemon balm tea was believed to support heart health and to promote healthy skin.

Greek cultural significance/spiritual beliefs: Lemon Balm holds a significant place in Greek culture. The ancient Greeks believed that lemon balm and bees have a strong relationship; for example, they believed that bees would never abandon a hive if the herb grew nearby. Similarly, bees use the herbs as a marker to find their way back to their hive after traveling beyond the hive. Because of these views, Greeks would even rub hives with lemon balm to make bees feel welcome. The Greeks also believed very strongly in Melissa as a promoter of long life. The last prince of Wales, Prince Llewellyn, who lived in the 13th and 14th centuries, was said to have drunk melissa tea every day of his 108 year life.
COCONUT FLAKES:
Cocos nucifera
Plant Family: Arecaceae
Psysical: Coconut is a high-fat fruit that has a wide range of health benefits. These include providing you with disease-fighting antioxidants, promoting blood sugar regulation, and reducing certain risk factors for heart disease. Coconut can support immune system health: it is antiviral, antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic. It’s also known to improve digestion and absorption of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, Improve insulin secretion and symptoms associated with diabetes, Help protect the body from cancers through insulin reduction and removal of free radicals that cause premature aging and degenerative disease, Reduce the risk of heart disease and improve good cholesterol (HDL), Restore and support thyroid function, Help protect against kidney disease and bladder infection, Promote weight loss and lastly, Help keep hair and skin healthy, prevent wrinkles, age spots, and provide sun protection.
Energetic/Herblore: In India, the coconut palm tree is called kalpa vriksha, “the tree which provides all the necessities of life.” In the Philippines, it’s seen as the “tree of life.” It’s thought that Coconut trees originated in India 55-37 million years ago and self-populated the tropical world by floating on ocean currents for up to 100 days or 3000 miles. Their journey would end when the husk reached fertile ground where it could sprout and grow into a productive coconut palm within 6-10 years.
In the Hindu religion, Puja is the most important ritual that honours the deity or divine spirit and connects the devotee with the Gods. Both the fruits and leaves of a coconut are used during Puja. The coconut fruit is a representation of divine consciousness and is often presented with its leaves in a copper vessel called a ‘Kalasha’.
The coconut is so religiously significant that the Hindus neither cut this tree nor do they use its wood for fuel. In Tamil Nadu, the uprooting of a coconut sapling is considered equivalent to killing one’s own son. “If cracks appear on the trunk within ten years, the planter would die.” Possibly due to this belief it became a custom in Odisha to get coconuts planted by the oldest member of the family.
