BACKGROUND Valerian root and lemon balm extracts have previously shown efficacy and excellent tolerability in children<12 years suffering from restlessness and insomnia. We now examined whether treatment with a fixed combination of both may also improve concentration, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. METHODS 169 primary school children suffering from hyperactivity and concentration difficulti...

Lemon palm (Melissa officinalis L.), a perennial plant from Lamiaceae family, is cultivated in all Mediterranean countries and coastal regions of Türkiye. It can be attacked by several pathogens like nematodes which reduce its yield quality. In this study, morphometric measurements, morphological molecular identifications were done using juveniles females obtained galled roots lemon balm collec...

repellet effect of extracts and essential oils of citrus limon (l.) burm.f., (lemon) and melissa officinalis, (balm) were evaluated against anopheles stephensi in laboratory on animal and human and compared with synthetic repellent, n,ndiethyl- 3-methylbenzamide (deet) as a standard. results of statistical analysis revealed significant differences between oils and extracts (p< 0.05) against the...

In Persian nutrition culture, drinking aromatic waters (hydrosols, distillate) has a long history as functional beverages or therapeutic remedies. The co-distilled water with essential oils, which contains partial amounts of more water-soluble volatile compounds are diluted and used as beverages. Since the solubility of volatile components is different in water, the overall composition, and thu...

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) occurs natively in the Mediterranean Area and is widely cultivated as medicinal aromatic plant (MAP). In South Tyrol lemon among most species of MAP. During spring 2019, two field sites with cultivations showed extensive damage on leaves. Injured samples taken from these locations were analyzed presence larvae pupae a Curculionidae, which completed their life cy...

This work investigates the process of extraction of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) by treatment with carbon dioxide at supercritical conditions. The process kinetics is studied at different operational conditions, and the influence of some important regime parameters (pressure, temperature particle size, solvent flow-rate) on the extraction yield is experimentally determined. Besides the i...
