Why you can't just 'switch off'.
We often talk about "stress" as a feeling, but biologically, it’s a chemical cascade. When your mind feels like a browser with 50 tabs open, it’s often due to a dip in a neurotransmitter called GABA.
Think of GABA as your brain’s natural "brake pedal." It stops nerve cells from over-firing and helps shift your nervous system from 'Fight or Flight' into 'Rest and Digest'.
Research shows that Lemon Balm is rich in a compound called Rosmarinic Acid. This intelligent plant compound works by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down GABA—effectively keeping those calming levels higher in your brain for longer.
The result? It’s not about "sedating" yourself. It’s about restoring the biological ability to pause, focus, and actually switch off when your head hits the pillow.
The Ritual: We recommend taking 1-2 capsules during that 4pm slump to reset your focus, or 1 hour before bed to support deep, restorative sleep.
Knowledge is power. (And peace of mind). 🌿
