Lemon Balm supplies the constituents your body uses to ground the bodily systems and maintain systemic balance.
It provides the raw materials to fortify a balanced stress response and support efficient digestion. By promoting physical relaxation, it assists the nervous system in easing tension so you can smoothly transition into restorative sleep.
In the bottom desk drawer. Supplies raw materials to maintain the neuroendocrine system and fortify a balanced stress response during busy schedules.
On the nightstand. Promotes natural recovery and eases the nervous system to support restorative sleep.
Right next to the keyboard. Neutralizes free radicals and maintains efficient thinking and a clear sense of perception during daily stressors.
On the dining table. Works within the digestive tract to support the production and activity of digestive enzymes for efficient nutrient absorption.
Application for Lifestyles
- High-Stress Equilibrium: Navigating chaotic days and dealing with people requires energy regulation. The volatile terpenes work synergistically with the neuroendocrine system to maintain a balanced stress response, providing an easing of tension so you can process information effectively.
- Tranquility: Winding down, taking a shower, and watching TV require a calm internal environment. The grounding (cooling/calming) actions supply raw materials to the nervous system, facilitating natural recovery and inner peace to support restorative sleep.
- Eating: Digesting meals can sometimes disrupt energy metabolism and lead to an afternoon food coma. The broad spectrum of phytonutrients and polyphenols fortify the digestive tract, supporting the production and activity of digestive enzymes to break down food, maintain regular bowel movements, and promote the efficient use of energy.
- Office: Sitting all day and staring at screens contributes to the afternoon slump and challenges mental processes. Rosmarinic acid provides potent antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, maintaining a state of relaxed alertness and mental acuity to sustain cognitive focus.
- Ascension: Sitting still, quieting the brain, and tuning out noise require mental and emotional balance. This nervine herb cultivates a sense of groundedness, supporting the harmonious flow of energy necessary for a quieter mind and a clear sense of perception.
Key Benefits
- Fortify a balanced stress response to adapt to various challenges.
- Maintain healthy digestion and the efficient use of energy.
- Promote physical relaxation and the natural transition into restorative sleep.
- Cultivate a general sense of calm and relaxed alertness.
- Support clear and open airways for overall respiratory well-being.
- Neutralize free radicals with potent antioxidant support.
Biochemistry and Mechanisms
Lemon balm supplies unique constituents, specifically rosmarinic acid and volatile terpenes such as citronellal and citral, which work synergistically to maintain the neuroendocrine system and nervous system. During periods of everyday stress, these naturally occurring substances supply raw materials to support a balanced stress response, the easing of tension, and the harmonious flow of energy.
By promoting grounding (cooling/calming) actions, the volatile terpenes facilitate a balanced mental state and promote natural recovery to prepare the body for restorative sleep. Furthermore, the broad spectrum of phytonutrients and polyphenols work within the digestive tract to support the production and activity of digestive enzymes, maintaining healthy digestion and efficient nutrient absorption.
Within the respiratory system, the botanical pigments and polyphenols provide potent antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, supporting tissue cleanliness, clear and open airways, and respiratory well-being. These natural regenerative processes rely on complete balanced meals to provide the essential vitamins and minerals necessary for cellular health and longevity.

Dosages and Handling
Liquid Extract Dosage: We suggest 10 to 90 drops @ 1-3 times per day. To find a functional dose, we suggest starting with a minimum dose of 10 drops and working up.
- Shake gently: Secure the lid and turn the bottle over back-and-forth 3-5 times to evenly distribute the liquid extract. Vigorous shaking oxidizes the volatile constituents and reduces constituent synergy.
- By mouth: Hold the liquid under the tongue for 60-90 seconds before swallowing, or mix the drops into 2-4 oz of lukewarm water. Hot water will catabolize the fragile volatile compounds.
- Timing: We suggest taking this on an empty stomach (up to 30 mins before eating) for rapid mucosal assimilation, followed by a complete balanced meal to provide the heavy building blocks (proteins/fats).
Questions and Answers
