These sound essential oils are available for free listening and for sale, with proceeds benefiting our research in electrophysiology and molecular sound chemistry.
Thank you for your wonderful participation!
These melodies are produced by the plant itself and its molecular activity, which we measure and record.
I encoded it in .wav format with a sampling frequency of 48Khz in 24 bit and tuned it according to the calculations of the Einstein / Planck equation (h.f = mc2) to the frequency of water at 429.62 Hz. Lasting 30 minutes for better immersion with the spirit of lemon balm.
Enjoy listening!

History of lemon balm use in herbal medicine
Lemon balm is a plant native to the eastern Mediterranean basin (Turkey) and found in all temperate climates worldwide. Its use as a medicinal plant dates back to Theophrastus and Hippocrates in ancient Greece. At the time, its benefits for calming anxious people and alleviating nervous disorders were already recognized. Arabs used it as an antispasmodic, and Europeans as a digestive, calming agent, and antiviral treatment. In the contemporary world, lemon balm is used in herbal medicine to treat anxiety and nervous disorders, as well as gastrointestinal problems. It is also used for its stimulating effect on brain function and its effectiveness in treating insomnia.
Botanical description of lemon balm
Lemon balm is a perennial, bushy plant, measuring from 30 cm to 80 cm in height. Its upright, square-sectioned stems are branched and pubescent. Its leaves, pale green on the underside and brighter on the upper side, are opposite, oval, and petiolate. Rough to the touch, they release a slightly lemony scent when crushed. The white or pink flowers are inserted in the axils of the leaves. They are bell-shaped and release nectar appreciated by bees. The fruit is a brown tetrakene, containing dark brown and shiny seeds. There are several variants of licorice: aura, citronella, lemonella, lime, etc. The plant grows well in fresh soil, whether exposed to sun or shade.
Composition of lemon balm
Parts used
The leaves, stems, and flowers are the parts used in herbal medicine.
Active ingredients
Terpenic aldehydes (citral, citronellal), terpenic alcohols (eugenol, geraniol, linalool, citronellol), sesquiterpenes (caryophyllene).
Terpenic aldehydes have antiviral, calming, and sedative properties. They are also hypotensive, stomachic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial agents. Terpenic alcohols have a neurotonic, hepatostimulant, and immunomodulatory effect. They also have positive effects on emotional and psychological states. The caryophyllene contained in sesquiterpenes has anti-inflammatory, anti-colitic, and antispasmodic properties.

- For the treatment of agitation, anxiety, and insomnia, gently apply lemon balm essential oil to the temples and arms. You can also dilute 10 drops of this essential oil in a soap to incorporate into a warm bath.
