Why It Works for Sleep
The synergy between these two herbs creates a holistic "calm down" effect:
• Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla): Contains an antioxidant called apigenin, which binds to specific receptors in your brain that may promote sleepiness and reduce insomnia. It acts as a mild sedative for the nervous system.
• Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis): Traditionally used to reduce excitability and restlessness. It helps lower levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) and eases the "racing thoughts" that often prevent people from falling asleep.
• Physical Relaxation: Both herbs are antispasmodic, meaning they help relax the digestive system and smooth muscles. If tension or a "nervous stomach" keeps you awake, this blend is particularly effective.
