Lemon Balm Tincture (Melissa Officinalis) – Nervous System Disorders – Monastic Recipe

Description

Ιδιότητες:

The Lemon Balm Tincture (Melissa Officinalis) contains the same active ingredients as dried lemon balm herb. Lemon balm appears to be a versatile herb, with clinical studies continuously discovering more of its properties. In modern herbal medicine, lemon balm is primarily used to treat nervous system disorders and to prevent the development of ulcers. Lemon balm is an anxiolytic (it has antidepressant effects) and a mild sedative. Consuming it helps address anxiety and tension, while also being effective in cases of insomnia. Clinical studies have shown that this action is primarily due to rosmarinic acid found in the herb (not the essential oils, as many suggest). Recent systematic research on students revealed that consuming lemon balm significantly reduced stress during exams, leading to better concentration and performance (up to 6 hours after consumption). As for its use in treating gastrointestinal discomfort, studies have shown that consuming lemon balm protects against ulcers. Specifically, consuming lemon balm appeared to increase the secretion of prostaglandin E2 and mucus while reducing acid secretion.

Lemon balm has strong antioxidant properties and moderate antibacterial effects. External use (in the form of cream) helps in the treatment of herpes simplex. In recent years, clinical research has been conducted regarding the positive effects of consuming the herb in regulating the thyroid and addressing HIV-1. However, as final conclusions have not yet been drawn, individuals undergoing thyroid medication (e.g., thyroxine) should avoid consuming it.
