A health expert pointed out that "an amazing type of herbal tea can limit anxiety and stress, alleviating symptoms within a few days." Dr. Eric Berg, a specialist in nutrition and intermittent fasting who addresses various medical issues through his social media accounts, recommends drinking lemon balm tea, also known as Melissa officinalis, which belongs to the mint family and has leaves that emit a pleasant lemon fragrance. It is commonly used for medicinal purposes and as a spice in various dishes.
Lemon balm contains compounds that may provide individuals with soothing and relaxing sensations. It may also prevent the growth and spread of certain viruses and bacteria, according to research. In a detailed explanation of the mental health benefits of lemon balm tea, Berg states: "If you suffer from anxiety and stress, drink a cup of this tea every day. It offers wonderful benefits for what is called GABA, a calming molecule in the brain that makes you feel tranquil and at peace."
He added: "When you drink this tea, your cortisol levels will return to normal, so you will really feel good. You will be able to sleep well and have more energy."
