Linden Extract Linden (Lime Blossom) Extract has anti-histamine, anxiolytic and relaxing properties and helps reduce smooth muscle tension associated with vascular spasm.

Magnesium Magnesium exerts rapid and sustained relief of acute migraine pain by regulating neuromuscular activity due to its effect on serotonin and other migraine-related receptors and neurotransmitters.

Melissa Essential Oil Melissa Essential Oil modulates the secretion of immunoreactive beta-endorphins (part of the brain opiate system for controlling pain) through the action of its high ascorbic acid content, and enhances a number of aspects of lymphocytic function in the immune system. It has powerful anti-inflammatory, analgesic and sedative effects.
