Lemon balm is an adaptogenic herb commonly used in teas, in the sense that it can very rapidly modulate our brain neurotransmitters to promote a calm and resilient state of mind. It has many benefits that we'll now go into:

Key Facts

📚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! ⁣⁣
