During cognitive overload, the ability to remain calm is crucial for effective decision making. That’s where lemon balm comes in.
Lemon balm is one of nature’s best calming herbs. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study found the unexpected result that a single dose of 300mg of lemon balm extract improved executive function and reduced decline in performance over 5 hours of the hardest tasks.
Interestingly, the reason lemon balm helped was that it increased calmness: a novel way of improving cognition.
