Melissa officinalis (Lemon Balm)

Written By Emily KenCairn

The leaves and flowers contain volatile oils, tannins, and bitters which have a definite relaxing effect on the stomach and nervous system. The medicinal effect of Melissa is primarily sedative, relaxing, and mildly anti-spasmodic. It is excellent for stomach distress and general exhaustion. For a delicious nervine tonic, blend with Chamomile and Oats. - RG
