Relaxul Tea (Melissa)

LA LEONESA RELAXUL is the result of years of research of plants that safely and effectively calm and relax. This natural tranquilizer helps to relieve stress, worry, insomnia, and the nervousness so common in today’s world. Relaxul contains medicinal plants like Melissa officinalis (lemon balm, Lamiaceae) that are rich in the essential oils known to be effective as an antispasmodic and sedative.


How does Melissa work?


The Melissa herb contains volatile oils (citral, caryophyllene oxide, linalool, and citronellal), flavinoids, triterpenes, polyphenols, and tannins. Research has shown that the volatile oil, in particular citral and citronellal, calm the nervous system. Melissa is strongly antispasmodic. Also, the polyphenols in Melissa have antiviral properties. Research suggests that Melissa has anti-thyroid effects and the herb has been given to some with an over active thyroid.

How much should I use?

We suggest using two tea bags per cup of boiling water. Drink it after dinner or just when you feel like relaxing. We advise pregnant women consult their doctor before using any herbal products.

History and Folklore


Native of southern Europe, western Asia, and northern Africa.. Taken regularly, it was believed to encourage longevity. Other traditional uses include healing wounds, relieving palpitations and relaxing the heart, and treating toothaches. It is also popular as a "first-aid" remedy for cuts, insect stings, and is good for fevers.

Melissa has been traditionally used to "lift the spirits"

The warm infusion of the leaves has diaphoretic effects, and when added to bath water is also said to promote the onset of menstruation. Use the crushed leaves as a poultice for sores, tumors, milk-knots, and insect bites. Balm is also used in herb pillows because of its agreeable odor. When bruised, the whole plant smells like lemon. It is used to induce copious perspiration.
