Lemon Balm Elixir
From the gut to the nerves, heart and immune system, Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) has a broad range of applications for both acute and chronic conditions and may well be the most underrated herb out there!
Best known as a gentle and effective relaxing nervine that is emotionally uplifting, mildly sedative (without drowsiness) and anti-spasmodic, this bright, cheerful and invigorating herb is suited for those who suffer from nervous disorders or are in need of general relaxation, to calm a hot temper, soothe migraines and nervous headaches as well as individuals experiencing depression and insomnia.
Considered a nootropic, Lemon Balm can assist in elevating cognitive function as its calming effects on the nervous system can help focus a scattered mind. In this way, Lemon Balm is commonly used to support individuals with memory difficulty, ADHD, Alzheimer’s, and dementia.
The gentle nature of Lemon Balm makes it well accepted by most constitutions. It’s an infamous children’s herb and can be used to support nerves, relaxation, mental focus, colic, hyperactivity and immunity. It is also a classic remedy used throughout European folk medicine when fever is high and associated with insomnia, irritability, muscle tension and redness. While the intelligence of fever as a healing response in the body is to be respected, Lemon Balm can assist in relaxing vasculature and pores so that heat can be circulated to the surface and released if the heat feels “trapped” in the body.
Lemon Balm is also a much overlooked digestive support for pregnant women. The high concentration of aromatic oils are what provides the anti-spasmodic action which can in turn help relieve gas pains.
The anti-spasmodic action of Lemon Balm is not restricted to the digestive tract, but extends throughout the whole system, specifically the heart and vasculature. This action is what can aid in relief from headaches and cardiovascular constriction.
Individuals prone to nervous indigestion/stomach distress, viral outbreaks such as the herpes simplex virus, heart palpitations, colic, and painful menstruation may also find Lemon Balm supportive.
On an emotional and psychological level, Sajah Popham suggests that Lemon Balm works on elements of the inner child, and is especially suited for the adult that is “too adult“ and needs to relax, let loose, play a little and enjoy their life.
What’s more, its delicious!
