I read somewhere online that lemon balm is a very effective sedative herb for insomnia. I'm interested to know if it works well. I've tried Valerian, and it didn't help with my insomnia. And I'm tired of trying herbs which can act as a stimulant and a sedative. I want something that is just sedating, like chamomile. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to chamomile slightly, and it is too mild for me. Has anyone out there tried lemon balm extracts or tea for their insomnia? Is it effective or too mild? In my mind, it is probably too mild for chronic insomnia. I've read of supplements that contain both Valerian and lemon balm for insomnia, so it sounds as if lemon balm might be like chamomile, kind of mild. Has anyone had experience with this herb? Thanks.
