Product Description

Lemon balm is a medicinal herb known for its calming and therapeutic properties. It has been traditionally used to reduce stress, anxiety, and insomnia due to its mild sedative effects, which are attributed to compounds like rosmarinic acid and flavonoids. Lemon balm is also beneficial for digestive health, helping to relieve bloating, indigestion, and nausea. Additionally, it exhibits antiviral properties, particularly against the herpes simplex virus (HSV), making it useful in managing cold sores. Research suggests that lemon balm may support cognitive function, improve memory, and enhance mood, making it a potential aid for individuals with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease. It is also used to help regulate thyroid function and may have a role in managing hyperthyroidism. While generally safe, excessive use of lemon balm may cause drowsiness and interact with sedatives or thyroid medications, so consultation with a healthcare provider is advised before regular use.
