In a groundbreaking clinical trial, researchers have unveiled the transformative effects of Aloysia citrodora (lemon verbena) extract on sleep health. Over a 90-day period involving 71 participants, the study found that those supplementing with lemon verbena extract experienced substantial improvements in sleep quality. Objective measures using an actigraphy device showed significant reductions in sleep latency and wakefulness after sleep onset, alongside enhanced sleep efficiency. Moreover, participants saw a remarkable increase in nocturnal melatonin levels, crucial for regulating the sleep-wake cycle. These findings not only underscore lemon verbena’s potential as a natural solution for sleep disorders but also advocate for its broader adoption in promoting holistic sleep wellness.
