A perennial bush with serrated heart shaped leaves which have a mild taste and smell like lemon. Lemon balm, part of the mint family, has been cultivated around the Mediterranean coast for over 2,000 years. Historically, many attributed increased intelligence to individuals who consumed it on a regular basis. Now it is much more widely known for it's medicinal properties/uses as a sedative, anti-spasmodic and anti-bacterial. For some it is still considered a cure-all.
Lemon Balm has always been known for its general effects on the nervous system as a whole commonly used for stress and anxiety, lack of appetite, digestive discomfort, depression and for general strengthening of the memory and mind. Today, there is again a lot of attention on lemon balm in the treatment of Alzheimer's and dementia, showing results of improved mood and mental performance. It is also commonly recommended for insomnia or difficulty relaxing, as well as for calming spasms of the digestive tract.
Lemon Balm is frequently paired with valerian root, as a sleep aid and anti-anxiety remedy. There is also strong evidence of lemon balm's efficacy in treating genital or oral herpes, decreasing duration of sores and length between outbreaks. Although its specific anti-viral actions are poorly understood, it is suspected it interferes with virus receptors on host cells. If you are an outdoor enthusiast looking for natural options, the crushed leaves can also be rubbed over skin for a natural mosquito repellent.
Lemon balm can be taken in capsule or tincture form, and is commonly found in anti-anxiety or sleep promoting combinations. Lemon balm maintains an excellent safety record. There are no side effects for interactions associated with its use, although it is not to be taken by pregnant or breastfeeding women. Individuals taking benzodiazepines, SSRI's or SNRI's may notice some mild drowsiness if combining lemon balm with these medications. Recommended dosages vary anywhere from 100-500 mg/day.
Anxiety
Anxiety Defined
Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. In most cases, anxiety is due to thoughts or emotions. It starts with our perception of a situation. Our body reacts to a perceived threat the same way it would if there was an actual threat. It becomes pathological when it becomes constant and/or when it prevents us from our normal activities of daily living. At this point it is most often referred to as an anxiety disorder. How anxiety manifests in the body, and the severity with which it manifests, varies significantly between individuals.
What does anxiety look like?
Anxiety symptoms can be mild, such as sweaty palms, a flushed face or a mildly increased heart rate. More intense bouts of anxiety are often referred at as panic attacks. Individuals are often overwhelmed with both physical and emotional sensations of impending death. For some, these attacks are unpredictable, while for others they are situational (public speaking, heights, crowds, etc). Avoidance of these situations can often prevent their occurrence. Common symptoms include sweating, shaking, heart pounding, dizziness, shortness of breath, numbness/tingling, intense heat or chills and chest pain.
The Many Causes of Anxiety
The causes of anxiety are just as varied and individualized as the symptoms. Stress can both predispose us to attacks, as well as decrease our ability to cope with anxiety when it happens in acute situations.
For some individuals there is a clear genetic component, some studies have shown that specific areas in the brain, the amygdala and hippocampus are involved. Sleeping and eating habits, as well as availability or a lack of social support, can also greatly impact our ability to cope effectively with difficult challenges. There are also theories that relate anxiety to "chemical imbalances in the brain", more specifically, serotonin imbalances. Medical conditions such as hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, strokes, mitral valve prolapse, iron deficiency anemia or adrenal tumours cause the nervous system to respond with anxiety symptoms.
