In reply to lemon balm, posted by sigismund on March 15, 2011, at 14:40:18
On pubmed I saw one of the clinical studies on lemon balm. In that study they found that high doses caused relaxation, improved sleep, improved mood, and improved cognition. While lower doses were still good for relaxing and sleep, they interfered with cognition and mood.
Personally I didn't find the capsules to my liking. Didn't feel the same. I had been taking the tincture which I liked much better than the capsules. Tincture seemed more potent, rapid acting, and I don't, just better somehow.
Glad the first go of it went well. That's always a welcome good sign. Now to see what happens as days and weeks go by, and what different doses do for you.
It is a very good herb going back thousands of years. Like most plants, it also has a lot of other active ingredients doing good things. For example it is antiviral.
If things aren't perfect with it, keep in mind that in the science of herbal medicine and eastern medicine, combinations of various plants is the norm.
