Lemon balm - an ordinary plant with extraordinary properties
Lemon balm [Latin: Melissa officinalis] is generally associated primarily with its calming effects. However, it is interesting to note that its unique flavor has also earned it recognition in gastronomy. It is a perennial herb native to Southern Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Due to its many valuable active ingredients, lemon balm is one of the most valuable and widely used plant raw materials.

Does lemon balm really have a calming effect?
In traditional natural medicine, it is used as an excellent sedative. These properties are due to the presence of its essential oil, which has a calming effect on neurotic states, as well as feelings of intense nervousness and overstimulation. It also has valuable properties for insomnia. When properly processed, the plant releases its essential oils, which relax smooth muscles and relieve spasms. Therefore, lemon balm is recommended for stomach complaints such as severe flatulence.

Other properties of lemon balm
The calming effect isn't the only thing that distinguishes lemon balm. It also possesses other properties, including those derived from the highly effective rosmarinic, caffeic, and ferulic acids. It also contains flavonoids and phenolic acids. These are characterized by their effective antioxidant effects and are very powerful antioxidants. Lemon balm thus neutralizes free radicals that are harmful to the human body.

Lemon balm in cosmetics and aromatherapy
Its versatile uses make lemon balm a highly valuable plant. This is demonstrated by its use in the production of certain cosmetics and in aromatherapy. Research has shown that lemon balm has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. It also demonstrates high efficacy against the herpes virus.

Lemon balm is also used in home cosmetic treatments. Its properties make it ideal for treating seborrheic skin, i.e., skin prone to eczema. A hair conditioner made from these herbs, on the other hand, is ideal for people struggling with oily hair.
