Extraction

Lemon balm essential oil is extracted by steam distillation of the leaves and flowering tops; it appears as a clear yellow liquid that releases a fresh citrus fragrance.

Affinity

Melissa essential oil harmonizes excellently with all citrus oils (especially Neroli and Grapefruit) as well as with the essential oils of Geranium, Lavender, Ravensara and Verbena.

Property

Lemon balm was one of the first herbs to be used medicinally, particularly for anxiety and depression, but also as a sedative and digestive aid. It is no coincidence that Paracelsus, the celebrated Swiss Renaissance physician, called lemon balm the "elixir of life".
Lemon balm's precious essential oil, completely non-toxic, is a proven remedy for countering allergic reactions and soothing the effects of insect bites. In low concentrations (dissolved, for example, in almond or sesame oil), this natural distillate is truly valuable in treating eczema and other skin conditions; in addition to being an effective insect repellent, this essential oil has antidepressant, bactericidal, and parasiticide properties.

Uses

The use of natural lemon balm essential oil, once important in both pharmacies and cosmetics, remains currently very limited due to its limited availability and prohibitive costs.

Botany

Native to the Mediterranean region, lemon balm is now widespread throughout Europe, Central Asia, Siberia, and North America. Known by various names (such as "citron balm", "bergamot balm", "citron herb", " lemon balm, " "citron lemon balm", etc.), it is a delicate, bushy herb over sixty centimeters tall with a seductive scent. It bears serrated, glossy green leaves and tiny white or pink flowers. Various subspecies grow, always in cool, shady locations.
