UKKO Lemon balm tea – 30 g

Known as the "plant of calm", lemon balm gets its Hungarian name from the mild, lemony scent of its leaves. Tradition knew it for almost every complaint, and modern phytotherapy regards it primarily as a calming plant that supports digestion.

EMA-recognized traditional use of lemon balm: relieving mild symptoms of stress and aiding sleep, as well as symptomatic support for mild digestive complaints (e.g. bloating, feeling of fullness). It has also traditionally been consumed to calm an upset, nervous stomach, ease stomach cramps and in case of loss of appetite.

Responsible herbal use: we recommend lemon balm tea primarily for its traditional calming and digestion-supporting purposes – for prevention and as a complement, not instead of medication. If you have an existing complaint, persistent sleep problems or take medication, consult your doctor.

Suggested use:

Preparing the tea

• Pour 150 ml of boiling water over 1.5–4.5 g of dried lemon balm leaves.
• Cover, let it steep for 10 minutes, then strain.
• Drink warm 1–3 times a day – also in the evening for traditional sleep support.

IMPORTANT – age limit and caution: Not recommended for children under 12 (as also recommended by the EMA, due to lack of data). Lemon balm may affect thyroid function, so if you have a thyroid condition or take thyroid medication, consult your doctor before use. Due to its calming effect, extra caution is advised when combined with sleeping pills, sedatives or alcohol (it may enhance their effects). Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding requires care.
