Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is native to south-central Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, Iran, and Central Asia, but now grows in many other countries. It has antiviral, antibacterial and antihistamine properties and is helpful for horses recovering from illness and to boost the immunity. It is very useful for high stress environments.
 
Lemon Balm has many natural benefits for horses and ponies with wonderful calming effects and it is soothing to the nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. It has anti-spasmodic properties; reducing muscle pain and cramping. Lemon Balm is carminative, thus helping to reduce gas in the stomach and intestines and giving relief to digestive ailments.
 
Lemon Balm combines very well with our Hops, Chamomile and Vervain to offer a very effective calmer that is competition legal! 
 
For a bespoke calmer mix, please use the 'contact us' page to communicate with Michelle about your horse's calming requirements. I can then provide a custom calming mix for your horse once we have tried to establish the cause of the anxiety, stress, excitability etc.
 
All our supplements are in a powdered form, allowing for superior absorption of the active ingredients when compared with 'cut pieces of herbs, chunks, granules or shreds'.
 
As with all supplements, we recommend a gradual introduction to the horse’s feed, building up to the full dose over a few days. 
 
No fillers or bulking agents added.
