The object of plant alchemy is to supplement forces lacking within the body, tempering energies and restoring balance, both physically and spiritually.
“Alchemy provides the perfect medium through which the state of perfection or harmonious balance can be gained.” ~ Frater Albertus, The Alchemist’s Handbook
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis):
Chakra – Crown
Day – Thursday
Planetary Ruler – Jupiter
Plant Parts Used – leaves
Energy – cheerfulness, expansion, joy, luck, judgment, opportunity, assimilation, digestion and metabolism.
Considered a general cure-all by the famous alchemist Paracelsus, because Lemon Balm is high in natural healing life force.
When Jupiter energy is out of balance you might have over-indulgence, bad judgment, bad luck, poor digestion, and metabolic disorders.
