Melissa officinalis Extract

Melissa officinalis, commonly known as lemon balm, is a bright, aromatic herb with a long history of traditional use for nervous-system and digestive wellness. Despite its cheerful lemony flavor, lemon balm is often used when the nervous system needs a little less stimulation and the body needs help settling into a calmer state.
 
Research has explored lemon balm for its relationship with stress, relaxation, mood, cognitive function, and sleep, making it a wonderfully versatile botanical. It has also traditionally been used to support digestive comfort, particularly when occasional digestive upset seems to go hand-in-hand with stress.
 
This extract is primarily focused on lemon balm, with a small amount of Zingiber officinale (ginger) included to complement the formula. Ginger brings its naturally warming flavor and has a long history of use for digestive wellness, making it a particularly thoughtful addition for those times when chronic stress and digestion seem to be having a complicated relationship.
 
Use this extract on its own as part of your daily herbal routine or combine it with other botanical extracts to create a more individualized formula. Lemon balm pairs beautifully with a wide range of herbs, making this an especially useful extract to have in your herbal apothecary.
 
If stress has your brain running twelve tabs at once while your stomach has decided to join the conversation, lemon balm and ginger make a pretty damn good botanical pairing.
