Botanical Name: Melissa officinalis Botanical Family: Lamiaceae (Labiatae)
· Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
· Part Used: Leaves and Tops
· Aroma Note: Top to Middle
Also known as Lemon Balm, Melissa is one of the most precious and frequently adulterated oils in aromatherapy. It takes approximately 7 tons of plant material to produce just one kilogram of essential oil. The aroma is exquisite—bright, lemony, and herbaceous with a delicate floral honey-like sweetness. Historically called the "Elixir of Life" by Paracelsus, it was believed to completely revitalize a person's vital spirit. It is a powerful "coolant" for the body and mind, acting as a profound sedative for the nervous system while remaining physically uplifting.
Antidepressant, Antihistaminic, Antispasmodic, Antiviral (potent), Carminative, Cordial, Emmenagogue, Febrifuge, Hypotensive, Nervine, Sedative, Stomachic.
· Nervous System:The "Rescue" Oil. Melissa is unsurpassed for calming shock, panic, and hysteria. It is a primary choice for treating deep-seated anxiety and depression, particularly when it manifests as a racing heart or "palpitations."
· Viral Infections: Highly regarded for its antiviral properties, specifically against the herpes simplex virus (cold sores). It is also effective in lowering fevers and supporting the body during the early stages of a viral cold.
· Skin: In low dilutions, it is used to treat allergic skin reactions, eczema, and fungal infections. It has a cooling effect on "hot" skin conditions.
· Digestive: Eases "nervous indigestion," nausea, and bloating. It helps settle the stomach when stress is the primary cause of the upset.
· Female Health: Helps regulate the menstrual cycle and can ease the emotional symptoms of PMS and menopause.
Melissa is the "Oil of Light." It is for those who are struggling with "darkness" in their lives—be it depression, grief, or a feeling of hopelessness. It acts like a spiritual beacon, helping to bring the soul back into the light. Melissa provides the emotional protection needed for sensitive souls to engage with the world without feeling overwhelmed, fostering a sense of inner contentment and peace.
1. The "Cold Sore" Dab: At the first sign of a tingle, dilute 1 drop of Melissa in a teaspoon of carrier oil or alcohol and dab onto the area to inhibit viral replication.
2. The "Panic Rescue" Inhalation: During moments of extreme stress or a panic attack, inhale Melissa directly from the bottle to slow the heart rate and ground the nervous system.
3. The "Sweet Slumber" Diffuser: Diffuse 2 drops of Melissa and 4 drops of Lavender 30 minutes before bed to quiet a racing mind and encourage deep sleep.
