What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: lemon balm aerial parts extract (from Melissa officinalis). Lemon balm has a long history in herbal medicine and is traditionally used for calming and stress relief.

The liquid also includes certified organic vegetable glycerin and distilled water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Calming and soothing support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Stress, Insomnia, Restlessness, Nervousness.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lemon Balm is rated "Possibly Effective" for Stress (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lemon Balm is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety, Insomnia.

In the data we hold, lemon balm is rated possibly effective for cold sores (herpes labialis), stress, and depression. 'Possibly effective' means there's some clinical evidence supporting its use, but more or stronger research would help confirm how well it really works. The evidence isn't definitive, so results can vary from person to person.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lemon Balm

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lemon balm is generally well tolerated for short-term use in healthy children, though long-term safety and high-dose safety haven't been thoroughly studied. It's not recommended during pregnancy unless a doctor advises otherwise, and breastfeeding mothers should talk with their doctor before using it because the safety data is limited.

In clinical trials, dizziness and sedation were reported, but they occurred no more often than with placebo.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lemon Balm

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lemon Balm.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 264 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your pharmacist or doctor before using this product if your child takes CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs) or thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Lemon balm may amplify drowsiness with the first group and interfere with the effectiveness of the second.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Kids Lemon Balm Calm may help with stress or mild mood concerns based on possibly-effective evidence, but it's important to confirm it won't interact with your child's medications—especially sedatives, sleep aids, anxiety medications, or thyroid drugs. Talk with your child's doctor or pharmacist before starting it, and let them know about any other supplements or medicines your child takes.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use of lemon balm might have additive effects with CNS depressant drugs.
Lemon balm seems to have CNS depressant activity in animals and in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Thyroid Hormone

Theoretically, lemon balm might interfere with thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
In vitro, constituents of lemon balm extract bind to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), preventing TSH receptor-binding and leading to the inhibition of TSH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. In animals, lemon balm extract has been shown to decrease levels of circulating TSH and inhibit thyroid secretion.

Kids Lemon Balm Calm Alcohol Free by Herb Pharm: Common Questions

Does Kids Lemon Balm Calm Alcohol Free by Herb Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Kids Lemon Balm Calm Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 264 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Kids Lemon Balm Calm Alcohol Free contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is lemon balm safe for kids?
Lemon balm is generally well tolerated for short-term use in most healthy children. That said, long-term safety and safety at high doses haven't been studied well, so it's best used short-term and under your doctor's guidance.
Can I use this while my child is on anxiety medication?
Don't start this product without checking first. Lemon balm may add to the calming effect of anxiety medications and sedatives, which could make your child drowsier than intended. Your doctor or pharmacist needs to review your child's specific medications.
What is lemon balm supposed to do?
In the research we have, lemon balm is possibly effective for stress and depression, and for cold sores. That means there's some clinical evidence it helps, but it's not a guaranteed cure and results vary.
Can I give this to my child while breastfeeding?
If you're breastfeeding and considering lemon balm for yourself, the safety data is limited. Talk with your doctor before using it, so you can weigh the pros and cons together.
Does this product have alcohol in it?
