Description and Uses: Pure, undiluted Melissa oil (we also offer the 5% solution). Melissa is a popular garden herb known also as 'Lemon Balm'. Melissa has a soothing but uplifting effect on the mind and body, and has long been used for easing anxiety and lifting the spirit. Melissa essential Oil has powerful antiviral qualities, and is useful for colds, flu and in treating herpes lesions.

Why is this oil so expensive? It takes a large amount (300 pounds!) of fresh lemon balm to yield just 10ml of oil.

Cautions: Do not use Melissa essential oil on the skin in direct sunlight. Dilute well and use only a few drops in a bath as it may cause irritation of the skin.
