Melissa Essential Oil

Also known as Lemon Balm Essential Oil

Our premium, organically crafted Melissa Essential Oil—commonly referred to as Lemon Balm Essential Oil—is steam distilled from the fragrant flowers and leaves of Melissa officinalis, grown in the lush, sun-drenched fields of rural Bulgaria. Celebrated as one of the most therapeutically potent oils in aromatherapy, Melissa Oil offers a bright, lemony, herbaceous aroma that is both deeply refreshing and emotionally uplifting.

The name “Melissa,” meaning honey bee in Greek, speaks to the herb’s sweet citrus fragrance, which naturally attracts pollinators. With its low yield and delicate extraction process (yielding less than 0.05%), true Melissa Oil is rare and highly prized—making it a treasured gem in any essential oil collection.

Botanical Profile & Purity

A perennial herb with gently serrated leaves and soft white-to-pink flowers, Melissa is both beautiful and beneficial. To preserve its full aromatic complexity and therapeutic potential, we extract our oil through careful steam distillation using the whole aerial parts of the plant. Due to its scarcity and high cost, Melissa Oil is frequently adulterated with less expensive oils like Citronella, Lemongrass, or Litsea Cubeba—but we offer it in its pure, undiluted form for uncompromised quality and effectiveness.
