Please be careful, as lemon balm can sometimes affect thyroid function and hormone levels. If you are struggling with weight, it is much safer to get your TSH and other hormone levels tested first. Always consult your doctor before starting herbal extracts.

Lemon balm is mostly used for stress and sleep, and while lowering stress can help with weight, it's not a direct weight-loss herb. If you have insulin resistance or PCOS like me, we need a proper medical plan rather than relying on such remedies.

Listen, don't stress too much about finding some magic herb like lemon balm for weight loss. Enjoy it as a nice, soothing tea if you like the taste, but for actual weight loss, let's stick to our basic home-cooked food and daily steps!

Honestly, I tried lemon balm tea for a few weeks because of exam stress, but I didn't see any weight loss from it. It's great for calming your mind, but don't expect it to melt fat. Clean eating and some basic workouts are way better.

I've been reading up on herbal teas lately, and lemon balm seems to have very little scientific backing for weight loss specifically. It might reduce cortisol levels which helps with stress eating, but there's no standard safe dosage established for losing weight.

Weight loss ke liye log kuch bhi bechte hain, haan na? Lemon balm is good for stress relief, but direct weight loss nahi hota usse. Drink normal warm water and do some running instead, that actually works best, ho na.
