Often said to help ease stress<br />

and anxiety, Lemon Balm<br />

contains rosmarinic acid.<br />

The herb is also used for<br />

insomnia, cold sores, high<br />

cholesterol, genital herpes,<br />

indigestion, and heartburn.<br />

In essential oil form, the<br />

scent of Lemon Balm is used<br />

to reduce stress. Preliminary<br />

studies suggest that Lemon<br />

Balm extract may inhibit<br />

cholinesterase (the<br />

same mechanism as drugs<br />

that are used for mild to<br />

moderate Alzheimer’s<br />

disease) and also reduce<br />

damage from beta-amyloid<br />

(the protein that builds to<br />

form plaques).
