Melissa or lemon balm is one of the types of mint that has been commonly used in folk medicine since ancient times, because of its delicious taste and great benefits. Lemon balm is one of the popular plants to drink as tea, but using it as a supplement or extract also has great benefits. Lemon balm gives off a lemon-like scent when crushed. According to the ancient experience of using lemon balm and the studies conducted on it, it reduces negative mood effects, as it helps to relax and calm, and reduces feelings of alertness and anxiety.
Therefore, according to a research study of nutrients, it was found that mixing the supplement and supplement of lemon balm in the milk and yogurt drink led to clear effects in reducing the level of anxiety. In the aforementioned study, the effects of consuming lemon balm on cognitive functions, such as memory, concentration, solving mathematical problems and so on, were investigated.
The research participants were asked to perform some cognitive tasks after taking the lemon balm supplement and compared their performance with those who did not take the lemon balm supplement. The result indicated that those who took the supplement performed better.
Lemon balm is also very effective when added to the medicinal plant valerian in treating insomnia and sleep disorders. As it turned out, according to a study concerned with this recipe, it became clear that children who took doses of a mixture of lemon balm and valerian showed a significant improvement of up to 80 percent of the symptoms of sleep disorders.
The soothing effects of lemon balm may also calm and relieve headache pain, especially if it is caused by nervous moods or anxiety, and the same applies to toothache. For this reason, drinking lemon balm tea may help improve your Psychological and health condition.
This effect of lemon balm is due to the fact that it contains rosmarinic acid, which raises the level of neurotransmitters in the brain, also known as gamma-aminobutyric acid. It is believed that the lack of these transmitters in the brain causes anxiety and mood disorders. In addition, gamma-aminobutyric stimulates the production of serotonin, which has a calming effect and improves mood.
Lemon balm extract is available in the form of capsules, tablets, and powder that are all taken orally, and it is also available in the form of a cream for topical use. Lemon balm extract should be avoided if the patient suffers from hypersensitivity to any of the active or inactive components of this herbal medicine, and it is also forbidden to use it for those who suffer from thyroid problems.
There may be harm to you mainly if you are allergic to lemon balm, or if your consumption of lemon balm is exaggerated and over the limit. To avoid side effects, it is better not to consume more than two grams of lemon balm per day, and make that up to a month as a maximum, provided that you follow it with a period of rest to see the effect of this amazing herb on you.
