What is Lemon Balm?
Lemon Balm has been used for well over 2,000 years, as mentioned by Paracelsus (1493–1541), who believed that Lemon Balm was the "elixir of life". The genus name "Melissa", meaning "bee" in Greek refers to its small white flowers full of bee-attracting nectar. Since a long time ago in the West, dried Lemon Balm leaves have often been used as a valuable spice and herb. This little sweet herb is sold widely in the U.S. for two main reasons: to support health and longevity. *How could Lemon Balm Extract Support My Health?
Lemon Balm flavor helps to support a calm feeling and may help support healthy blood pressure levels. [1] *
Lemon Balm has traditionally been used to positively support mood and cognitive functions. More recently, research has turned its attention towards the bio-active properties of Lemon Balm, including its support of the central nervous system. Research suggests that Lemon Balm delivered in food items can exert positive behavioral effects which can be applied to our health [5] *
Nutrititional Value of Lemon Balm Extract
Fresh Lemon Balm contains potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, strontium, selenium, and Vitamin C.Lemon Balm is a good potential source of many functional components, including polyphenolic compounds (rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid, and protocatechuic acid), monoterpenoid aldehydes, essential oils (citral), sesquiterpenes, citronellal, linalool, and geraniol.
Lemon Balm is high in flavonoids (such as luteolin) which may support healthy antioxidation in the body. *
It also contains tannins, which are astringent and contribute to the Lemon Balm's toutic effects as a health tonic. *
