Abstract

A recent study conducted by the University of Reading in the United Kingdom explores the potential health benefits of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) on psychological well-being. The research highlights the phytochemicals present in lemon balm, such as rosmarinic acid and citral, which are believed to have positive effects on mental health. While further research is needed, initial findings suggest that lemon balm may have calming, anxiolytic, and antidepressant properties, as well as potential cognitive and sleep-quality enhancement. For more information, readers can refer to the article "Clinical Efficacy and Tolerability of Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis L.) in Psychological Well-Being: A Review" published in Nutrients.
