Melissa 5ml

Melissa (Melissa Officianalis)

Melissa Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves and flowers of Melissa officinalis, an herb most commonly referred to as Lemon Balm and sometimes as Bee Balm. Lemon Balm is easy to find and grow. Although the leaves of Lemon Balm are quite aromatic, the leaves and flowers do not yield much essential oil. Therefore, the oil is often adulterated, and true Melissa Essential Oil commands a very high price.

Aromatically, Melissa Essential Oil possesses a wonderfully fresh, lemony, green, and slightly herbaceous character. It’s a delightful aroma that many find pleasant.

Melissa has long been used to help calm feelings of tension and nervousness when ingested. Diffusing Melissa oil at night can help initiate a restful sleep environment. Melissa oil may also help support a healthy immune system
