Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)
|
Lemon Balm, the leaves of Melissa officinalis L., has long been purported to have sedative effects, is a psychoactive member of mint family. Reportedly, when chewed as a quid or brewed into a tea it possesses a seemingly paridoxical mixture of effects; somewhat like kava...of apparently both stimulation and calming without mental fogging. It has also long been an integral ingredient in the infamous (banned in many parts of the world) Absinthe drink.
We offer, of course, organically-grown lemon balm from a small farm. THIS IS NOT BEE BALM; A CHEAP IMITATION! You truly get what you pay for; we guarantee you will not find higher quality dried Lemon Balm anywhere. Apparently substances in the herb interact with the GABA-benzo receptor complex and with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. |
