The crushed leaves, when rubbed on the skin, are used as arepellant for mosquitos.
Lemon balm is also used medicinally as a herbal tea, or inextract form. It is claimed to have antibacterial and antiviral properties (itis effective against herpessimplex).

The major compoundresponsible for GABA transaminase inhibition activity in lemon balm is rosmarinic acid.
