Given the economic climate in the last several years it seems that people search out for all types of natural antidotes to reduce stress. At Laser Hair Removal Miami, LLC., and our sister med spa, Bay Harbour Med Spa, we advocate natural remedies, and as such, we have come to find that lemon balm has been clinically proven to help reduce anxiety and sleeplessness.
Lemon balm is a plant native to the Mediterranean region. Aside from reducing anxiety, lemon balm also enhances memory! Life Extension Foundation carries Cyracos- a lemon balm extract which is prepared from special lemon balm for its high concentrations of hydroxinnamic and rosmarinic acids. This extract seems to enhance one’s mood by triggering specific receptors in the cerebral cortex of the brain.
In the February 2011 edition of the Life Extension Magazine, an article makes reference to the fact that aside from relieving everyday stress and sleep problems, the anxiety-relieving properties of the lemon balm may also offer smokers relief from the mental stress of quitting by leveling off mood swings.
We urge you to visit Life Extension Foundations website, they have a plethora of helpful information. For more information, please visit http://lef.org.

At Bay Harbour Med Spa, many of our Miami clientelle come in for authentic European facials, or specialized face treatments such as Crystal Microdermabrasion TM or our deluxe ultrasonic face and neck treatment. In the last few years, with the downfall of the economy, we’ve realized that there’s a common denominator between all of our clients, no matter which treatment they seek, the symptoms of pre-mature aging due to stress was shared by many clients of all age groups.
Anti-aging is the benefactor of stress. Stress causes the release of steroid hormones, such as cortisol, into the bloodstream. This has many age promoting effects, including increased blood sugar, inflammation and cravings. It also slows metabolism and pumps fats into the liver.
The result is a self-perpetuating cycle of stress, weight gain, inflammation and more stress, which means accelerated aging. Thre are many products on the market to help reduce stress and support relaxation. One recent study from Japan, demonstrated that the consumption of green tea has a significant soothing effect on stress.
Other stress-relieving ingredients to look for include the following:
- Chamomile tea is widely known for its relaxing properties.
- Passion flower tea has relaxing and anti-addictive properties, and is used extensively in Europe to help patients recover from addictions.
- L-theanine is an amino acid from green tea and has been clinically proven to provide an alert sense of relaxation without drowsiness.
- Green tea has been shown to instill a sense of well-being and ease mental distress.
- Finally, if the stress you’re under causes you to experience anxiety, Bay Harbour Med Spa highly recommends a cd collection by a renowned therapist in Miami Beach, Roberta Shapiro. Roberta Shapiro has also compiled a free eBook full of techniques she’s amassed in her years as a psychotherapist. Mrs. Shapiro offers these techniques free of charge with the hope that every person suffering from excessive anxiety or worry. There is no obligation what so ever and we highly recommend this eBook, to download your free copy, please click HERE.
