  I just received my order from the UK that contained the dried dandelion and plantain package and the ingredients also list melissa, so I was wondering (the product is recommended for bunnies and guinea pigs) can anyone tell me what this is and is it safe in large quantities? Something tells me this is another name for yarrow, but I am unsure.
  
  Thankies! ^_^

  A quickie search reveals that Melissa is another name for Lemon Balm…which should be all right. I have made tea from Lemon Balm leaves…as I believe it is a derivative of the mint family.

  Just had a quick look in Herb book I have at mo. It is botanical name for Balm (Lemon Balm).^^
  It is said it’s medicinal use for humans is used to treat melancholy, nervous headache, failing memory, neuralgia and fevers. I think I’m gonna make me some of that tea. What’s it called again?…….
  
  I read in this book of a herb called Applemint. Thinking bunnies would go crazy for that!

  Thanks so much! ^_^ I knew I’d seen it somewhere, but couldn’t remember where!
  
  Yes, so many teas are good for the things that most docs would love to medicate us for at outrageous prices.
  
  I’ll let you all know what the bunnies think of their new treat!
