PROMISE
Bring balance into your life, cultivate deeper peace, and reduce inflammation with Melissa Essential Oil. With an herbaceous aroma that’s citrusy, sweet, and slightly floral, Melissa essential oil helps you relax and recharge. It’s calming, refreshing, and uplifting.
Also known as Lemon Balm or Sweet Balm, Melissa essential oil is steam distilled from the flowers of the Melissa plant. It gets this name from the Greek word for “bee” because the plant’s delicate, rare blossoms are known to attract honeybees in large numbers. Native to the Mediterranean region, Melissa oil has been used as a home remedy for generations thanks to its anti-inflammatory healing benefits.
When used for aromatherapy, Melissa oil benefits include releasing stress and tension, stabilizing mood swings, improving mental clarity and concentration, and better sleep. Diffusing this essential oil can help you become more mindful while opening you to new experiences and more creativity. It also helps with meditation and yoga.
Other Melissa essential oil uses include skincare, haircare, and use as a natural remedy for inflammation and wounds. When diluted with carrier oil, Melissa oil can be applied topically to promote faster healing, reduce physical discomfort, and support the immune system.
