Melissa Essential Oil (Melissa officinalis)
About
Native to south-central Europe, the Mediterranean, and Asia, melissa is an aromatic perennial herb in the mint family. Also known as lemon balm, the use of this herb extends back at least 2,000 years to Ancient Greece and Rome, where it was referred to colloquially as "honey-leaf" and "the elixir of life." Melissa essential oil has a tart, lemony aroma with herbaceous green undertones. Its aroma creates a pleasant, calming atmosphere that you'll enjoy as you prepare for a restful evening. Additionally, Melissa is commonly found in cosmetics and personal care products because of its skin-benefitting properties.
