> > MELLISSA LEAF IS SO MILD FOR ANXIETY MANY DO NOT NOTICE ANY EFFECT AT ALL.
Taylor 18 was asking about Melissa supreme, a Gaia combination tincture. Because Melissa is used for relaxation I assumed this was an anxyiolitic tincture.
True Melissa leaf alone doesn't do to much for many which is why I recommended it with other herbs in my first post.
The synergistic effect especially with passion flower can be quite potent.Though as I'd also mentioned I don't think much aside from perhaps organic Kava Kava is going to offer the relief of a Benzodiazepine
Anyway, I looked up Melissa Supreme and it is for stress/relaxation. And it is in combination with Passion flower among other herbs.
as follows:
Ingredients: Proprietary Blend 120 mg: Extracts from Lemon Balm (Melissa off.), German Chamomile Flowers (Matricaria recutita), Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata), fresh Skullcap Herb (Scutellaria lateriflora), fresh Wild Oat Milky Seed (Avena sativa), Concentrated Glycerite (Centella asiatica), Mineral Salts Extracted from Kelp, and 50-60% pure Vegetable Glycerin.
