Lemon Verbena essential oil is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory effect. It is often used in rheumatology to relieve joint and muscle pain. Additionally, its antineuralgic action makes it an ideal choice for relieving nerve pain.
By inhibiting the release of histamine, lemon verbena acts as a powerful antispasmodic, helping to relieve muscle and digestive spasms. Furthermore, it exhibits antibacterial properties against certain streptococci, lactobacilli, and Helicobacter pylori, thereby helping to maintain a healthy environment in the digestive system.
The geranial and neral components of the essential oil are also effective against Candida albicans, thus offering protection against fungal infections. Furthermore, lemon verbena essential oil has mild analgesic properties, helping to relieve pain.
Lemon verbena regulates the adrenal glands and balances nervous excesses, making it effective as a sedative to calm hyperexcitability. It also acts as a stimulant for glandular functions, promoting ovarian, pancreatic, and thyroid function. Furthermore, it boosts concentration and reduces drowsiness and apathy.
