Lemon balm - an ordinary plant with extraordinary properties
Generally, lemon balm [Latin: Melissa officinalis] is mainly associated with its calming effects. However, it should be known that, thanks to its unique flavor, it is also recognized in the field of gastronomy. It is indeed a perennial plant found in southern Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Thanks to its many valuable active substances, lemon balm is one of the most precious and widely used plant raw materials.

Is lemon balm really calming?
In traditional natural medicine, it is used as an excellent sedative. These properties are due to the presence of essential oil, which has a calming effect on neurotic states, as well as on feelings of intense nervousness and overexcitement. It also has valuable properties in cases of insomnia. When properly processed, the plant releases the essential oils it contains, which relax and soften smooth muscles. Therefore, lemon balm is recommended for stomach ailments such as severe flatulence.

Other properties of lemon balm
The calming effect is not the only thing that distinguishes lemon balm. It also has other properties, notably due to the presence of highly active rosmarinic, caffeic, and ferulic acids. Flavonoids and phenolic acids are also present. They stand out for their effective antioxidant action, being very powerful antioxidants. Thanks to them, lemon balm neutralizes harmful free radicals in the human body.

Lemon balm in cosmetics and aromatherapy
Its versatile use makes lemon balm a very valuable plant. This is evidenced by its use in the manufacture of certain cosmetic products and in aromatherapy. According to research, lemon balm has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. It is also very effective against the herpes virus.
