Melissa officinalis

Intensely refreshing, our divinely aromatic melissa oil is a gentle yet potent fusion of calming, nurturing and immune promoting properties. Among the most precious of all essential oils, the herbaceous and lemony Melissa officinalis helps nourish and restore optimal nervous system function and calms the spirit. Steam-distilled from the flowering tops and leaves of the plant, melissa’s unassuming power makes it a vital component of any essential oil pharmacy.

Certified Organic, Bulgaria.

Bottle Size: 1 dram (3.75 ml)

Health Benefits:

Melissa’s great benefit lies in its ability to support a balanced nervous, digestive, circulatory and reproductive system. Known for centuries as an elixir of the heart because of its uplifting and mood enhancing qualities, melissa essential oil is among the most potent of all natural essential oils for enhancing deep immunity especially during flu season. It encourages emotional harmony, pacifies anger, encourages restful sleep and restores inner direction.

How to Use:

Melissa can be applied neat (undiluted) topically, but is equally effective in dilution. A tiny amount goes a long way. One drop rubbed gently into the temples to ease head tension from daily stress. Blended in a carrier oil for massage, Melissa gently calms and supports a healthy nervous system. An aromatic bath suffused with a drop of Melissa oil promotes calm, restful sleep. Diffused, Melissa officinalis uplifts the heart and mind.

More Information:

The name Melissa derives from the Greek word “honeybee.” Not surprisingly, bees are highly attracted to this plant. Because of the enormous amount of plant matter needed to produce a kilo of Melissa, it is one of the most expensive and frequently adulterated essential oils.
