📚REDUCES ANXIETY:
One of the hallmark features about Lemon balm, is its ability to slow the degradation of GABA in the brain, via acting as a GABA-Transaminase Inhibitor (Scholey et al., 2014). This promotes a sense of calm and relaxation, similar to that one might experience from alcohol.
✅PROMOTES NEUROGENESIS/NEUROPROTECTION:
The growth of new neutrons is a process known as Neurogenesis (Zhang et al., 2012).
Lemon balm supports neurogenesis and displays neuroprotective qualities, possibly due to one of the chief constituents known as Rosmarinic acid (Peterson et al., 2003).
💌SUPPORTS SEXUAL FUNCTION IN WOMEN:
Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is the most prevalent female sexual dysfunction (FSD).
Lemon balm increases sexual desire (P < 0.001), arousal (P < 0.001), lubrication (P < 0.005), orgasm (P < 0.001), satisfaction (P < 0.001), pain (P < 0.002) which was significantly more than that of the placebo group ( Darvish-Mofrad-Kashani et al., 2018).
💥TAKEAWAY:
Lemon balm exerts effects across many aspects of the mind and body. Only cautionary note is for those with Hypothyroidism/Slow thyroid, however, this is relatively easy to counteract. DM for more info!
