Description

Melissa Essential Oil

Melissa Essential Oil is an immensely beneficial aromatherapy oil, with a very diverse range of applications. Aromatically, it is deeply pleasing, uplifting and relaxing.

Unsurprisingly, Melissa Essential Oil has been touted, by some, as the world’s most popular aromatherapy oil. Whilst there’s no denying it is a popular essential oil, it is certainly not the most affordable.

Nevertheless, because of the multitudinous benefits of Melissa Essential Oil, it remains a very valuable addition to everyone’s essential oil toolkit.

Melissa Essential Oil is also known as Lemon Balm Essential Oil.

Melissa Essential Oil Quality

Sadly, Melissa Essential Oil has become a victim of its own success. Popularity, and a reasonably hefty price tag, have led to this oil being broadly adulterated. This means that the majority of the Melissa aromatherapy oils, available in the UK, are fake, and potentially harmful.

This Wild As The Wind Melissa Essential Oil is a premium quality aromatherapy oil, suitable for therapeutic purposes. It is a Melissa True Essential Oil, and is 100% pure.

It is a wholly UK Melissa Essential Oil, distilled in the UK, using UK grown plant materials.

Melissa Essential Oil Overview

It is perhaps best known for its soothing, relaxing, mind clearing / memory enhancing, and antidepressant properties. This makes it a valuable oil for those suffering from autoimmune conditions and menopause. It is also ideal for the ageing population, who often have need of all of these benefits.

In addition, Melissa Essential Oil provides considerable digestive support. It helps to maintain the proper flow of gastric juices and bile, reduces the risk of ulcers, protects against digestive infection, and reduces bloating, cramping and flatulence.

Melissa Essential Oil effectively tones digestive function when applied abdominally, after being properly diluted in a good carrier oil.

It is also an excellent antiviral for viruses within the Herpes family.

An interesting scientific study, entitled Chemical composition of essential oil of Melissa officinalis L. and antioxidant activity from Boa Vista-RR, Brazil, had this to say:

Essential oils are rich in phenolic compounds, with reducing properties that play an important role in free radical sequestration as well as chelation of transition metals (Sousa et al. 2007)…
M. officinalis L. essential oil can be used as a pharmaceutical and nutritional product as a natural antioxidant source (Koksal et al.

Melissa Essential Oil is also known as Sweet Oil and Common Oil, possibly earning the latter name due to its popularity.
