I'm relaxing and can help soothe frayed nerves. According to Chevallier (2023), I am a "relaxing tonic for anxiety, mild depression, restlessness, and irritability." I can also help reduce feelings of nervousness and panic. I'm useful when over-anxiety is causing digestive problems such as indigestion, acidity, nausea, and bloating. 

I'm antiviral! That means I can inhibit viral replication. I may have "antiviral properties against some respiratory viruses, such as influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2" (Petersen, 2024). This is because several of my components can "bind to the protease and spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 or exert antiviral activity against influenza viruses in cell culture" (Petersen 2024). 

I'm neuroprotective! That means I'm good for your brain. I can help protect nerve cells and tissue.   Chevallier (2023) states that I have shown "anticholinesterase activity, maintaining levels of cholinergic neurons that become depleted in Alzheimer's."

I'm cardiotonic! That means I can also support your heart. It is known that I may have a protective effect for cardiovascular disease. According to Petersen (2024), human trials indicate "a potential benefit to lemon balm when administered in capsules for high blood pressure (hypertension), in tea for arrhythmia, or as essential oil aromatherapy for acute coronary syndrome."
