Lemon Balm

Support for Your Body's 'Rest & Digest' System

Lemon Balm is nature's gift for unwinding. It works on the crucial connection between your mind and your gut, gently guiding your body into a state of calm and ease. Here’s how:

• Calms a Racing Mind & Eases Nervous Tension:*
  Rich in volatile oils like citronellal, this herb is a classic 'nervine' that nourishes the nervous system, taking the edge off of daily stress and quieting circular thoughts.
• Promotes Restful, High-Quality Sleep:*
  By calming mental chatter and relaxing the body, Lemon Balm helps support the natural transition into a deep, restorative sleep, allowing you to wake refreshed.
• Soothes a 'Nervous' or Unsettled Stomach:*
  As a traditional 'carminative,' it is exceptionally effective at easing digestive tension, gas, and bloating that are directly related to stress and anxiety.
• Uplifts the Spirit & Promotes a Positive Outlook:*
  Known since the Middle Ages as a "gladdening herb," its pleasant aroma and gentle action help to lift the spirits and encourage a state of cheerful tranquility.

Does Your Stress Go Straight to Your Stomach?

It's an immediate and unmistakable feeling. You get a stressful email, and your stomach instantly tightens into a knot. You're facing a deadline, and suddenly your digestion is in turmoil. This is the 'Gut-Brain Axis' in action—a direct line of communication between your emotional state and your digestive system. For people who wear their stress in their gut, Lemon Balm is a true blessing. It is one of the few herbs that works on both ends of that axis simultaneously: it calms the racing thoughts in the mind while also soothing and relaxing the tension in the gut.*

Lemon Balm Extract is Ideal For:

• The Person with a 'Nervous Stomach': Whose digestive comfort is directly tied to their stress levels.*
• The Over-Thinker: Whose racing mind at night prevents them from falling asleep easily.*
• The Student or Professional: Needing a gentle, non-sedating tool to ease daily stress and anxiety.*
• Anyone looking to cultivate a sense of cheerful calm: The perfect evening ritual to unwind and reset.*

The Original 'Gladdening Herb'

For over 2000 years, from the gardens of ancient Greece to the monasteries of medieval Europe, this bright, fragrant herb from the mint family has been celebrated as a true gift to a stressed-out nervous system. Paracelsus, the famous 16th-century physician, called it the "Elixir of Life" for its ability to restore a sense of calm and vitality.

The Master of the Gut-Brain Axis

The magic of Lemon Balm lies in its dual action. Its rich volatile oils have a profound and direct soothing effect on the nervous system, helping to ease the "fight or flight" response. At the same time, these aromatic compounds work on the smooth muscles of the digestive tract, calming the tension and cramping that so often accompany a worried state of mind.

This is why Lemon Balm is the quintessential tonic for our modern lives. It doesn't just treat the symptoms of a stressed gut or an anxious mind; it nourishes the very pathway that connects them, helping to restore a baseline of peaceful, easy embodiment.*
