Melissa officinalis

Lemon balm

Calm behavior and digestive comfort

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a botanical herb traditionally used for its calming properties. It contains bioactive compounds such as rosmarinic acid, which have been studied for their interaction with pathways involved in relaxation and stress response.

In addition to its calming effects, lemon balm is also associated with digestive support. The gut and nervous system are closely connected, and maintaining digestive comfort can contribute to overall wellbeing and calm behavior.

Because of its dual role in supporting relaxation and digestive balance, lemon balm is often included in formulations aimed at helping dogs cope with stress while maintaining gastrointestinal comfort (Verhelst, 2025).
