Verbena Extract Introduction
Verbena extract is a perennial herb that is indigenous to both Europe and Asia. It is also referred to as verbena, Verbena officinalis, and herb of the cross. The plant is a member of the Verbenaceae family and features silky, pale-purple flowers along with lobed, toothed leaves. Because of the many healthy compounds it contains, it is used as a herbal remedy all over the world.
Verbena officinalis, which is grown in Okinawa, Japan, is extracted using an 80% 1,3-Butylene glycol solution to create lemon verbena extract. Verbenalin, which is found in verbena, is known to have hemostatic properties and is used to treat a variety of conditions, including blisters, diarrhea, jaundice, emmenagogue, and women's diseases.

Verbena Extract Function
Pain Relief
A number of studies have looked into the and analgesic effects of Verbena officinalis, both in topical and oral formulations. Results have been largely mixed.
A 2006 study from Spain found that an extract of V. officinalis, applied topically in rats, was as effective in relieving edema (swelling) as traditional drugs, but it was far less able to relieve pain.1
Anxiety and Insomnia
Verbena extract has long been believed to have a calming effect that can help relieve stress and promote sleep. This effect was first described in the 1652 book "The English Physician" in which vervain was used as a tea to treat "over-enthusiasm."
Although there have been few studies investigating these effects in humans, there is evidence that V. officinalis not only reduces anxiety and insomnia but may prevent the occurrence of epileptic seizures. These effects are attributed to a sugar molecule in vervain, known as verbenalin, which is believed to have psychoactive properties.
A 2016 study published in the Frontiers of Pharmacology reported that an extract of V. officinalis, prescribed at a dose of 100 to 500 milligrams per kilogram, reduced the frequency and duration of tonic-clonic seizures in mice.2
Moreover, mice injected with the extract spent more time sleeping than those injected with a placebo. Anxiety, measured by movement through a maze, was also seen to improve.
While it is unclear if the same effect would be rendered in humans, it does suggest that lemon verbena extract may exert a positive influence on the central nervous system and adrenal glands (which produce stress hormones).
Infections
The treatment of infectious diseases, both common and severe, has become increasingly challenging in the face of growing antibiotic resistance. Vervain, long used to treat upper respiratory and urinary tract infections, is believed to exert effects that may help overcome these challenges.
In a 2016 study, different parts of the V. officinalis were able to eradicate 24 strains of disease-causing bacteria.3 According to the research, extracts derived from the stem of V. officinalis were able to kill Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the test tube more effectively that the antibiotic amoxicillin.
