Lemon balm is a herb used throughout history for treating many ailments. In my practice, I commonly recommend lemon balm for anxiety and sleep problems, but based on the research, there are potential benefits for those with hyperthyroidism.
Before diving in, let me share a bit about my experience with this herb. When I was dealing with Graves’ disease, I didn't take lemon balm simply because I wasn't familiar with it at the time. However, after researching its incredible benefits, I'm convinced it could have really helped me.
