To quote the great herbalist Matthew Wood:
“Although it will generally sedate most people, Melissa is particularly suited to conditions of sympathetic excess, hyperadrenalism, or hyperthyroidism. It is especially indicated when these tendencies are associated with the stomach or heart. People experiencing heart palpitations, atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, and even aneurysm can find support using Melissa.”
“In addition to being cooling, sedative, and calming, Melissa is diaphoretic, so it is applicable in fevers with nervousness and in the fevers of young children. It is also used in nervous depression following exhaustive fevers and for convalescence when the digestion has been long irritated.”
