And,  as to mosquito control, Lemon Balm (or lemon mint) is also a  mosquito
repellant.  We almost always have this herb on hand, in  either fresh or
dried form.  Dried, it can be scattered in with your  thresh to keep your
dwelling smelling nice and deter winged pests.   :-)  It is also a nice
addition to a bit of tea or a fresh salad, but  can be overwhelming and
should be used in  moderation.


Lemon balm is also excellent for cold sores.  rub a fresh leaf  over the sore 
and by the next day it is usually gone.   I have also  had great luck making 
Sekanjabin using lemon balm to substitute for the  mint.  This makes a very 
good cold medicine and cough suppressant.  I  always keep some on hand and take 
either a straight teaspoon full or a teaspoon  mixed in with some tea then 
leave the cold alone and it usually goes  away
