doTERRA Melissa Essential Oil: The Jewel of Soothing
Lemon balm ( Melissa officinalis ), also known as "lemon balm," is a true gem in the essential oil family. This perennial herbaceous plant, which grows to between 45 and 60 cm tall, has medium-green, oval, and crinkled leaves from which a rare and precious essence is extracted. Once valued as a medicinal plant, lemon balm owes its name to the Greek word "Melissa" (bee), because its fresh, sweet, and citrusy fragrance irresistibly attracts pollinators.
Due to the complexity of its production, lemon balm is one of our rarest oils. It is primarily prized for its wide variety of uses, ranging from personal care to culinary arts. Diffusing lemon balm at night helps create a restful sleep environment while promoting deep emotional well-being.
All doTERRA essential oils are CPTG certified - 100% pure and natural .
