Melissa Essential Oil
Melissa (Lemon Balm) Essential Oil is a soothing, uplifting oil steam-distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of Melissa officinalis. Known for its fresh, sharp, lemon-floral aroma, it is cherished in aromatherapy for easing stress, supporting emotional balance, and providing comfort during the cold season. Often called “The Female Oil,” Melissa is traditionally used to help relieve PMT symptoms when added to a bath or massage blend. It also offers gentle insect-repelling properties. Blending beautifully with citrus oils, lavender, chamomile, and ylang ylang, it is ideal for massage, baths, or vaporisation. (Dilute carefully, as it may cause skin irritation.)
