FAQ
Lemon Balm tincture is a liquid herbal preparation made from fresh lemon balm herb (Melissa officinalis), using the traditional cold maceration method. This gentle process helps preserve a broad spectrum of naturally occurring compounds, along with the plant’s characteristic freshness and aroma.
The alcohol concentration is carefully adjusted to suit the properties of the fresh herb, which naturally contains moisture. This allows for balanced extraction of both water-soluble and aromatic compounds while preserving the gentle, natural character of lemon balm.
Our lemon balm is organically grown in Slovenia and carefully harvested by hand when its aromatic compounds are at their peak. The freshness of the plant is reflected in the finished tincture, which retains its delicate, distinctive aroma and natural character.

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)
Lemon balm is a gentle, aromatic herb with a distinctive lemony fragrance, often found in gardens and around traditional homes. Its softness and warmth have long been associated with a sense of peace, comfort and inner balance.
It belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae).
In herbalism, we primarily use the aerial parts (herba), including the leaves and upper parts of the plant, traditionally harvested during the flowering period, when its aromatic qualities are particularly pronounced.
An interesting detail lies in its Latin name, Melissa, which comes from the Greek word for bee. The plant is highly attractive to bees, and according to traditional folklore, its fragrance was believed to calm and attract bee colonies. In the past, lemon balm was planted near beehives as a symbol of protection and harmony between people and nature.
Lemon balm has a long history of traditional use during periods when we seek greater calm, relaxation and inner balance. It is often included in evening rituals or enjoyed during moments when we wish to slow down the pace of the day and gently reconnect with ourselves.
In modern herbalism, lemon balm is valued for its traditional role in supporting relaxation, general well-being and a sense of inner peace. Its use is rooted in centuries of herbal tradition and a deep appreciation for its gentle yet profound character.

Is lemon balm recommended for thyroid conditions?
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is mentioned in some sources in connection with an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), mainly due to effects observed in laboratory studies. However, these findings have not been sufficiently confirmed in clinical practice, so lemon balm cannot be recommended as a targeted treatment for thyroid conditions.
Lemon balm contains compounds, such as rosmarinic acid, that have been associated with effects on the binding of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) to its receptors in laboratory studies. These effects have primarily been investigated in vitro and cannot be directly translated into clinical use in humans.
For an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism):
Moderate consumption of lemon balm may be considered for general well-being. However, clinical data on its effects on thyroid function and potential interactions with thyroid medication remain limited. Regular use should therefore be discussed with a healthcare professional.
For an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism):
Lemon balm has attracted interest as a potentially useful herb, but its effects have not been sufficiently established in clinical studies. Its use should be approached with caution and preferably discussed with a healthcare professional.
Lemon balm is not primarily a herb for thyroid health. However, it may offer gentle support for relaxation and general well-being, particularly during periods of stress and tension that often accompany hormonal imbalances.
Can lemon balm affect thyroid medication?
There is currently no reliable clinical evidence that lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) directly reduces the effectiveness of thyroid medication. Although laboratory studies have observed certain effects on thyroid-related receptors, these findings have not been clearly confirmed in humans.
Significant interactions have not been established with ordinary, moderate use of lemon balm. Nevertheless, caution is advised with regular use, particularly when taking thyroid medication. If you are taking medication for a thyroid condition, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using lemon balm regularly.
