Melissa Oil Melissa officinalis
Melissa essential oil is rare, versatile, and difficult to produce. Its sweet, fresh, citrus-like fragrance gives Melissa oil a relaxing aroma commonly diffused and used in massage. Additionally, Melissa essential oil has a fortifying taste useful in flavoring, has a soothing effect on the skin, and contains surface cleansing properties.
