Details: What is Lemon Balm Extract?
Lemon balm extract originates from the Melissa officinalis plant, or more commonly known as the balm mint plant. Melissa officinalis is related to the mint plant and grows in all parts of the globe. One of the first known lemon balm uses was in Hellenic Greece. It was used as a tonic and later used in Europe during the middle ages. During this period the tonic was made from the Lemon balm plant and used as an elixir that people would apply to flesh wounds or took for headaches and fevers. One of the more traditional lemon balm extract uses was to brew a tea for a calming sensation. Lemon balm extract provides a concentrated form of melissa officinalis, thus offering a wide range of potential lemon balm benefits.

Lemon Balm Benefits for Mood
Most lemon balm benefits are attributed to the way it interacts with gamma-aminobutyric acid, also known as GABA. GABA is a neurotransmitter that’s responsible for inhibiting excited neurons in the nervous system, it’s also known as the brain’s main response to stress. GABA opens up easy communication between the nerves and the brain in mentally or physically stressful conditions. Rather than using a GABA supplement, lemon balm extract inhibits a compound that blocks GABA known as GABA transaminase.

However, there are more lemon balm extract uses beyond lemon balm benefits for stress. Research on lemon balm found that lemon balm extract may promote nerve and muscle relaxation. Eugenol is a compound that exists in lemon balm and has demonstrated potential to relax muscle tissue. This may be why drinking lemon balm tea after a workout helps promote muscle relaxation and tension relief.
