Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) The first literature mentioning lemon balm is Dioscorides’ De Materia Medica and Pliny the Elder’s Natural History, both dating back to first century AD. Avicenna (eleventh century Persian physician and philosopher) describes lemon balm as a plant that “strengthens the heart” and has a “calming effect” on the mind in Avicenna’s Canon of Medicine, also emphasizing its role in supporting mood and sleep, stating that it can “help soothe the spirit” and “aid in restful sleep”​

Traditional and Scientific Uses:

Study Overview:

Scientific studies have investigated the effects of Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) on healthy brain function and mood in healthy young adults using a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind design study. Participants received single doses of 300, 600, and 900 mg of lemon balm extract or placebo. The results suggest a lemon balm could offer a dose- and time-dependent support of healthy brain function and mood.
