Albanian Alps Lemon Balm salve is an organic balm made by infusing this unique herb called "Lemon Balm". This green herb is a powerful anti-inflammatory herb, most famous for its ability to help speed up recovery of cold sores, canker sores, herpes and other types of lip issues. Contrary to its name, it does not smell like lemons and is not related to them at all. In Albanian, it's called "Bar Blete," which translates to "Bee Bar" due to its strong appeal to bees, who are attracted to its nectar-rich flowers. Its botanical name is Melissa Officinalis, but a majority of people refer to it as Lemon Balm.
 
We use the finest dried Lemon Balm leaves, grown in the rich, high Alps of Albania. It is cold-infused in Extra virgin olive oil for 4-6 weeks at a 100% plant-to-oil ratio, giving you the most potent extraction of all of the benefits of Lemon Balm. Lemon Balm is your lips best friend. Anytime you have a cold sore you just need to dab a little bit on and it should help speed up the healing. Lemon Balm herb is used to aid all types of lip sores, including HSV. Combate those frosty flair-ups with the top of the summit relief!
