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 essential oil has a soothing but uplifting effect on the mind and body, and has long been used for easing anxiety and lifting the spirit.
Why is this oil so expensive? It takes a large amount (300 pounds!) of fresh lemon balm to yield just 10ml of essential 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.
