This is the composition per 100g:

Lemon balm, Melissa officinalis

Lemon balm, also known as Cedronella, lemon balm or lemon grass, is traditionally used in phytotherapy against nervous excitement. Lemon balm excelled in the gardens of Benedictine monasteries and formed part of the composition of one of their famous liqueurs, the “elixir of long life.” The pleasant aroma and flavor of lemon are due to the presence of essential oil in the leaves, which are employed in states of anxiety with somatizations affecting the gastrointestinal system.

Chamomile, Matricaria chamomilla

Chamomile flowers are used to prepare infusions with sedative, calming and anti-inflammatory virtues. The presence of flavanoids and coumarins grants the plant antispasmodic properties that produce muscle relaxation. Precisely because of its muscle-relaxing virtues, chamomile is used as a useful sedative in cases of nervous tension, stress, and anxiety. Its anti-inflammatory effects also help against inflammation, digestion and heartburn.

Passiflora, Passiflora incarnata

Passionflower, better known as the plant that produces passion fruit, has a calming, sedative and anxiolytic action and is among the most widely used remedies in herbal medicine for disorders of the nervous sphere. The flavanoids in it act on the spinal cord and stimulate physiological sleep without night awakenings, morning numbness, and without producing addiction. The plant, of Mexican origin, was used by the Aztecs as a relaxant.

Linden tree, Tilia tomentosa

Norse peoples revered this sacred plant as a symbol of longevity (it can reach 2,000 years). The flowers and leaves are used in herbal medicine for their rich concentration of flavanoids, tannins, essential oils and coumarins, which are useful in treating stress, insomnia, anxiety and headaches. It is said that Tilia tomentosa, acting at the root, can solve what are the side effects of our “troubled” state of mind.

Hawthorn, Crataegus Oxyacantha

Belonging to the Rosaceae family, its name is derived from the Greek word kràtaigos, a term that invokes the concept of “strength.” Hawthorn ‘s benefits are mainly associated with its cardioprotective and cardiotonic properties. In addition, the presence of the active ingredient vixetin gives the plant a natural sedative, spasmolytic and anxiolytic action useful against anxiety, insomnia, agitation, anxiety and nervousness.

Sweet orange, Citrus sinensis

The peel of thesweet orange is rich in essential oils that, in addition to imparting a pleasant aroma to our mix, have significant health benefits. Its sedative and calming properties are useful for combating insomnia, counteracting nervous disorders, depression, anxiety and nervousness. In addition, it is an antispasmodic remedy that has a relaxing action on the muscles and is therefore indicated in cases of muscle tension, fatigue and stress.

Mallow, Malva silvestris

Mallow has been known for its emollient virtues since ancient times. Its name comes from the Latin mollire, meaning “able to soften,” and the Greek malachè, “to make soft.” The flowers and leaves are rich in mucilage, which coats mucous membranes with a viscous layer that protects them from irritants. Hence its emollient and anti-inflammatory properties. Mallow herbal tea is recommended as a soothing and relaxing drink to be taken in the evening to relax and sleep better. It also has digestive virtues and is useful in cases of stomach acidity.

Odorous starlet, Galium odoratum

Galium odoratum, also known as Stellina odorosa or asperula, is commonly found in the wild in meadows at 1,000 meters between May and July. It is traditionally used in folk medicine for its aperitif, tonic, digestive, sedative and diuretic, cholagogic, and emmenagogic qualities. Because of its properties and delicious flavor (coumarin), it is often used to flavor schnapps and herbal teas.
