Lemon Balm is know to contain polyphenol tannins
This is very good. You could actually use lemon balm in cracking cells of other substances that are least indigestible or metabolized do to their fine genetic structure and most beneficial having the cell walls cracked for absorption into the blood stream. This means you can use them to ferment certain substances and get the results of using or running a science lab and developing a super powerful medicine that works. FYI we use tannins to ferment grapes to make wine and apples to make cider vinegar. So let's say you are suffering from a thyroid conditions or perhaps live in a highly radioactive environment You would use tannins and fulvic acid in your ferments to extract the important benefits of seaweed to utilize the highest potentials of those enzymes, minerals, nutrients, etc to create it at its best bio-available source.

External of lemon balm can help cold sores heal more quickly when they appear, according to the University of Michigan Health System Health Notes. The higher the concentration of lemon balm in the cream or ointment, the more effective the treatment seems to be.

Hyperthyroidism and Grave’s disease
Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease where the thyroid is overactive, producing an excessive amount of thyroid hormones (a serious metabolic imbalance known as hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis). Lemon balm has been used to relieve symptoms of autoimmune disease and promote a healthy immune system in patients with autoimmune disease.
Used as an injection along with Lycopus virginicus or bugleweed, lemon balm is widely used in Europe for treating Graves’ disease and is also used as a tonic or tea to reduce and manage symptoms in Graves’ disease. The Melissa herb slows pituitary function, lowering TSH levels, which, in turn, reduces thyroid hormone levels and it is rather paradoxically used to raise thyroid hormone levels in patients with hypothyroidism. Balm herbs strengthen rather than stimulate thyroid function, restoring normal levels to patients with autoimmune thyroid disease. However, its effects are mild and this herb is not considered an effective treatment for patients with moderate to severe hypothyroidism.
In addition the melissa herb inhibits the receptor binding site and biological activity of immunoglobulins in the blood of patients with Graves’ disease. You should seek a medical professional’s advice when considering any treatment.

For a calm mellow day stress free, try infusing some lemon balm leaves in your water. Can also add thin slices of cucumber, lemon, and perhaps a few strawberries. I suggest giving it a try sometime.
