Lemon balm tea for weight loss is a calming herbal drink made from the leaves of the Melissa officinalis plant. It is widely used to support digestion, reduce bloating, and help manage stress and emotional eating—factors that can indirectly influence weight gain. This caffeine-free tea is low in calories and easy to prepare at home. While it does not directly burn fat, lemon balm tea for weight loss can support a healthy lifestyle by improving sleep quality, reducing cravings, and promoting relaxation.
