Balm

Balm (Melissa), Melissa officinalis (2050) (also known as Lemon Balm). Melissa is a delightful, lemony-scented oil with strong antiviral properties. Its high solar frequencies act on the pineal gland, simultaneously calming and invigorating. It helps against melancholy and disharmonious feelings, creating reconciliation with our higher Self. It is helpful in a massage oil for indigestion and menstrual cramps. Melissa has a sedative effect, easing anxiety, insomnia, and nervous tension. The plant grows abundantly throughout northern Europe and is in many private kitchen gardens. The yield is extremely low, hence the high price. Because of this, Melissa is frequently adulterated, sometimes with the much less costly lemongrass. This is a pure therapeutic-quality aromatherapy essential oil from Greece, and is obtained from the whole plant.
