Description

Melissa officinalis, also known as lemon balm, received the name “Melissa” because of its sweet, fresh, citrus-like fragrance, which was known to attract bees (Melissa is Greek for “honey bee”). A highly sought after oil, Melissa has a wide range of benefits and uses. Melissa is used as a flavor in teas and ice cream and is some times used in fish dishes. Melissa has long been used to help create a relaxing, comforting environment. Diffusing Melissa at night can help initiate a restful sleep environment. More confirming clinical research is needed, but preclinical studies suggest Melissa may help support a healthy inflammatory response, when taken internally.*

 

Uses

  • Diffuse to create a relaxing environment.
  • Rub on forehead, shoulders, or chest.
  • Add a drop or two to flavor tea or homemade ice cream.

Directions For Use

Aromatic use: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilute with a carrier oil to minimize any skin sensitivity. See additional precautions below.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in four fluid ounces of liquid.

Cautions

Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.
