Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), also known as Melissa, has been used as a calming herb for more than 2,000 years. The plant was described in ancient Greek and Roman times, and later became a staple of European monastery gardens.
Earth's Way makes a potent, alcohol-free glycerine-water extract from organically grown lemon balm. Each dose contains 1000 mg of extract, equivalent to an impressive 3400 mg of fresh organic herb. Lemon balm has a naturally calming effect*, helps maintain healthy sleep*, contributes to mental wellbeing* and contributes to normal psychological function*.
From 3400 mg of fresh herb to a potent extract
This extract uses only the leaves of lemon balm grown organically in Europe. For each daily dose, approximately 3400 mg of fresh herb is processed into a concentrated 1000 mg extract. This produces a high-quality extract rich in lemon balm's characteristic plant compounds.
The leaves naturally contain rosmarinic acid, flavonoids and aromatic essential oils such as citral, citronellal and geraniol. These compounds give lemon balm its distinctive fresh lemon scent and have made it a valued plant in European herbal traditions for centuries.
More than 2,000 years of traditional use
The name Melissa comes from the Greek word for honeybee. Lemon balm is, in fact, one of the best plants for bees. The herb has been documented for more than two thousand years, including by Greek and Roman physicians such as Dioscorides and Pliny. From the Middle Ages onwards, lemon balm became a staple of European monastery gardens and was used to make the famous Carmelite water (Eau de Mélisse).
Today, the plant is still grown organically in the Netherlands and Germany, where the temperate climate encourages a high aromatic oil content.
Gentle glycerine-water extract without alcohol
Earth's Way deliberately chooses a glycerine-water extract rather than an alcohol tincture. This keeps the extract completely alcohol-free and gives it a mild, pleasant taste.
Unlike some supplements, the herb is not simply added afterwards. Earth's Way incorporates the organically grown lemon balm directly during extraction, naturally preserving its characteristic plant compounds.
Vegetable glycerine from organic European linseed, combined with purified water, is used as the extraction liquid. The result is a pure extract without alcohol, fillers, preservatives, colourings or other synthetic additives.
Why choose Earth's Way?
Earth's Way stands for complete transparency, organic cultivation and maximum purity. The lemon balm is grown organically in Europe, and every production batch is independently tested for composition and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is also available for every batch. The combination of high-quality European ingredients, careful extraction and a minimal ingredient list means you know exactly what you are taking.
