Lemon balm, also known by its scientific name Melissa officinalis, is a perennial herb from the mint family. It is native to the Mediterranean region but is now cultivated worldwide for its culinary, medicinal, and aromatic properties. Lemon balm is highly regarded for its lemony scent and taste, which makes it a popular addition to teas, culinary dishes, and herbal preparations.
Here are some potential benefits associated with lemon balm:
Calming and Relaxation: Lemon balm has a long history of use for its calming and soothing properties. It is often used to promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and alleviate stress-related symptoms. Lemon balm tea or tinctures are commonly consumed for their calming effects.
Sleep Aid: Lemon balm is often used as a natural sleep aid. It may help improve sleep quality, reduce insomnia, and promote restful sleep. Drinking lemon balm tea before bedtime or using lemon balm essential oil in aromatherapy can be helpful for promoting relaxation and a better night's sleep.
Cognitive Function: Lemon balm has been traditionally used to support cognitive function and mental well-being. It is believed to enhance memory, focus, and concentration. Some research suggests that lemon balm may have neuroprotective properties and could potentially help with age-related cognitive decline.
Digestive Health: Lemon balm has carminative properties, which means it can help soothe and support the digestive system. It may relieve symptoms of indigestion, bloating, and stomach cramps. Lemon balm tea or extracts are often used for digestive health support.
Cold Sore Relief: Topical applications of lemon balm, such as creams or lip balms, have been traditionally used to help alleviate symptoms of cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. Lemon balm contains compounds that may have antiviral properties and could help reduce the duration and severity of cold sore outbreaks.
Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects: Lemon balm contains antioxidants that help protect the body against oxidative stress and damage from free radicals. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, which may have benefits for overall health and wellness.
Lemon balm is generally safe for most individuals when used in appropriate amounts, but it's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before using it, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking medications. Lemon balm may interact with certain medications, such as thyroid medications and sedatives. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances and help ensure its safe and appropriate use.
Comes in a 25mL reusable glass bottle.
