In the Middle Ages, this herb was used by wizards and sorcerers of Europe to prepare magical potions. Today, lemon balm is one of the most popular plants with a sedative effect.
From Hiccups to Dark Melancholy
A thousand years ago, the great Avicenna (980–1037) in the 'Canon of Medicine' pointed to the healing properties of lemon balm, its ability to 'help with brain blockages', and called it the 'heart's delight'.
The famous Persian healer believed that lemon balm 'makes the heart happy and strengthens the spirit, drives away dark thoughts and balances black melancholy, aids digestion and helps with hiccups'. In medieval Europe, lemon balm was one of the most popular plants.
In the wild, lemon balm is found in Central and Southern Europe, the Balkans, Iran, North Africa, North America, as well as in Ukraine, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. It grows on forest edges, in forest ravines, and shady gorges.
Vitamins and More
The plant contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B9, and PP. But particularly high is its vitamin C content, to which we owe good resistance to viral and bacterial infections, proper functioning of the immune system, rapid tissue regeneration, healthy cells, blood vessels, the bone system, and normal iron absorption.
The microelement composition includes elevated iron content, whose main function is hematopoietic. Zinc, copper, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and sodium are also present.
Such a rich composition explains the powerful general strengthening effect of lemon balm on the body, its beneficial influence on brain vessels, the tonic effect, and anti-inflammatory and antiviral action.
A Mood Modulator
Today, lemon balm is widely used in medicine as a sedative, antispasmodic, and analgesic that calms the nervous system, stops nausea and vomiting, has a favorable effect on heart activity, and stimulates appetite.
Lemon balm is useful for various health problems, including insomnia and depressed emotional states. Its citrus-mint aroma reduces anxiety and stress, making sleep deeper and calmer. For these properties, lemon balm is called a 'stress protector' and 'mood modulator'.
