Description
Delicately citrusy and fresh, Melissa Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of the Melissa officinalis plant, commonly known as lemon balm. One of the most prized and therapeutically powerful essential oils, Melissa is known for its ability to ease anxiety, promote restful sleep, and support emotional healing.
It’s also revered for its antiviral and skin-soothing benefits, making it a valuable addition to blends for cold sores, irritated skin, or immune support. Its uplifting, heart-opening scent is often used in meditation, grief support, or when deep emotional grounding is needed.
