At 50, my metabolism has retired, so I also tried drinking lemon balm tea for weight loss. It basically just calms your nerves so you don't eat an entire packet of biscuits when you're stressed. Drink it hot in the evening instead of sugary chai.

My mother always suggested herbal infusions for digestive health. Lemon balm tea is very soothing and helps reduce bloating after meals, but my doctor confirmed it won't directly burn fat. It is a lovely, healthy habit to replace sodas, but don't expect magic.

I was looking into lemon balm drops but got worried about how it might affect my thyroid levels since I read some conflicting articles online. If you are taking it, maybe start with a very weak cup of tea once a day to make sure your body reacts well to it.

I incorporate lemon balm tea as part of my clean vegetarian diet to help with digestion and gut health. It is best enjoyed in its natural leaf form brewed in warm water, without adding any refined sugar or honey, about 30 minutes after your lunch.

Listen, lemon balm is just a calming herb, not some secret fat cutter. It will help you sleep better and digest your food well, which is good for your fitness journey. Just steep the dry leaves in hot water for 10 minutes and drink it, no need to buy expensive supplements.

I once tried to cure my sudden, unexplained weight gain with herbal teas like lemon balm, only to find out months later that I had a severe thyroid issue. Please get a proper blood test and checkup done first to see why you are struggling to lose weight, rather than relying only on herbs.
