What does the evidence say about these herbs?

HerbEvidenceIn short
Lemon balm Extract trials only A lemony mint-family herb with traditional EU recognition for stress and sleep. The positive trials mostly used extracts or unspecified preparations; we found no controlled trial of lemon balm tea for anxiety or sleep.
Passionflower Tested as tea One of the few herbs tested as a tea against a placebo tea, with a small positive result for sleep quality. It should not be used in pregnancy.
Licorice root Caution ingredient Used in many blends for sweetness, not calm. It earns a caution flag because its glycyrrhizin can raise blood pressure and disturb heart rhythm.

Evidence grades describe each herb in general, not this product. No trial we know of has tested Numi De-Stress itself. How grades work.

Who should check before drinking it?
