What Is Melissa (Lemon Balm) Tincture?

Melissa, also known as lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), is a gentle aromatic herb from the mint family. The tincture is a concentrated herbal extract traditionally used for calming the nervous system and supporting relaxation and digestion.

Why People Use Melissa Tincture

Melissa is especially valued as a calming herb for the nervous system. People traditionally use it when the mind feels busy, the body feels tense, or stress makes it difficult to relax.

Melissa is traditionally used to support:

• Calm mind and emotional balance

• Everyday stress and nervous tension

• Relaxation during anxious or restless feelings

• Restful sleep and easier unwinding at night

• Digestive comfort, especially a nervous or unsettled stomach

• Healthy nervous-system function

• Overall relaxation and everyday well-being

Melissa also contains naturally occurring plant compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, which continue to be studied.

Because the mind, nervous system, sleep and digestion can all be affected by stress, Melissa is a wonderful traditional herb for times when the body simply needs help slowing down and relaxing.

How to Use

Adults: 20–30 drops, up to 3 times daily.

Dilute in a small amount of water or warm tea.

For relaxation or digestive support, I recommend taking it approximately 15–30 minutes before a meal. For evening relaxation, it may also be taken before bedtime.
