Aloysia
triphylla
Aloysia triphylla (Lemon Verbena) is a lemon-scented herb used in teas and supplements for digestive, anti-inflammatory, and calming effects, though robust clinical evidence remains limited.
Lemon Verbena (Aloysia triphylla) is a South American herb traditionally used for its refreshing aroma and medicinal properties. Its leaves are rich in polyphenols and essential oils that may yield antioxidant and calming effects. It is commonly consumed as tea or in extract form.
There is promising but preliminary evidence from human and animal studies for several applications, but large and well-controlled trials are lacking.
Supports digestive health
LimitedTraditionally used to relieve digestive complaints such as indigestion, gas, and colic; lab and anecdotal data suggest possible antispasmodic effects in the gut.
May aid sleep and relaxation
LimitedSeveral small clinical studies suggest Lemon Verbena extract may improve sleep onset and quality, particularly in people with insomnia.
Provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
LimitedSupplementation reduced markers of inflammation (e.g., C-reactive protein) and oxidative stress in limited clinical studies and laboratory models.
May reduce muscle damage after exercise
LimitedPreliminary trials indicate Lemon Verbena extract may protect against exercise-induced muscle damage, potentially improving post-exercise recovery.
