Most days bring a wild mix of exciting and dull moments. We try our best and work hard to meet the needs of each day. Most of us know that treating ourselves well is imperative to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but it’s easy to forget. Melissa oil can serve as a reminder to take time to enjoy the simple things and designate space in our lives for rejuvenation.
With a lemony and floral aroma, Melissa is a wondrous essential oil often used in aromatherapy to lift your spirits. Like a calming stroll on the shore, Melissa essential oil calms the mind and lessens feelings of anxiety.
A luscious aromatic herb with a sweet aroma, the Melissa plant has serrated leaves and petite white and pink flowers. Both the flowers and the leaves are put through a steam distillation method to extract and capture the essential oil. Try mixing it with resin-based essential oils to create something special.
