Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a perennial herbaceous plant which is part of the mint family. Lemon balm is native to south-central Europe, the Mediterranean, Iran, and Central Asia, but can now be found in the Americas and elsewhere.
Lemon balm has been used as far back as the Middle Ages, there are many things I could tell you about this herb which has been extensively used for thousands of years and has been extensively studied and trialed around the world by reputable organizations and establishments, the results of which have been peer reviewed and published in many medical journals but E.U. law forbids me to write any of it here, even with links to those aforementioned studies and trials.
Of the three main extraction
methods used to produce herbal remedies, decoctions are simply the best.
Macerations use solvents which may leave harmful residues in the end product,
tinctures contain alcohol which is a systemic poison. Decoctions extract
mineral salts and bitter principles through simmering herbs in our own
distilled water for a prolonged period. The entire process takes 15 hours, is
labour intensive so not conducive to mass production which is why herbal
decoctions are uncommon on line. They contain far higher levels of active
ingredients, no alcohol and can be made from hard plant parts unlike infusions.
Our decoctions are made in small batches from organic ingredients by our fully
qualified herbalist. They are also a superior form of supplementation than
tablets or capsules, as most have artificially made ingredients, contain
filers, flowing agents, excipients binding agents and preservatives. Also they
often contain only one active ingredient neglecting the fact that molecules
work synergistically in the body. Perhaps one of the most overlooked factors
when manufacturing supplements from fibrous herbs is the fact that a large
portion of individuals will struggle to absorb the beneficial compounds due to
suboptimal digestion caused by compromised gut health. The extended extraction
process involved in brewing decoctions makes these compounds much easier to
absorb for the average person. Our qualified Herbalist uses only our own zero
ppm quad filtered distilled water, all equipment used is stainless steel and
our decoctions are bottled into steam sterilised UV resistant pharmaceutical
grade glass bottles, which obviates the need to use preservatives of any kind.
Be very careful not to touch the top of the bottle or the inside of the lid
against anything or decant it into any container or jug that has not been steam
sterilised unless the decoction is to be consumed immediately.
This is an
entirely natural additive and preservative free product, do not contaminate the
inside of the bottle or lid with a finger, never return decanted decoction back
into the bottle, store in the fridge after opening. Use within 6 weeks of
opening.
