Description: Melissa leaf,
commonly known as lemon balm, comes from a sweet smelling, bushy
herb that grows up to 90 cm high with serrated leaves and tiny white
or pink flowers. The high price of Melissa essential oil is due to
the fact that approximately 3 tonnes of plant material is required
in order to produce approximately 500 ml / 16.66 fl. Oz of essential
oil.

yellow tinge

Note: Top to Middle
Strength of Aroma: Strong
Blends well with: Bergamot,
Cedarwood, Geranium , Jasmine, Lavender (All), Lemon, Sweet
Marjoram, Neroli, Rose, and Ylang-ylang essential oils.
Aromatic Scent: Melissa
essential oil has a warm and radiant scent reminiscent of Lemons.
History: Melissa comes from the
Greek for ‘Honey Bee’. It was used to give comfort and drive away
sadness. Current aromatherapists tend to make the same claim, though
they caution that consumers must be careful to purchase authentic
Melissa Leaf essential oil rather than ‘nature identical’ varieties
sold at a fraction of the normal cost.
Cautions: Melissa Leaf has
possible sensitizing and dermal irritating characteristics.
Nonetheless, it is viewed by experts as non-toxic.
