Melissa - Organic EO

This is VERY good Melissa! It has the nice lemony scent you expect from Melissa with a mild herbal back note that's not overbearing like some Melissas. It's actually really difficult (for me) to find not only good quality Melissa, but also for an affordable price. Other places, it's either too herbal with barely any lemon or just smells unpleasant like it's stale or something. I love the fact you can buy as little as 1mL so you can sample it before potentially wasting money on something you may not like. I got 5mL for $60, which is a very good & more than fair price, especially compared to some who charge>$100 for the same amount, & when you view the GC/MS or COA of them, you realize they're all basically the same oil.

This is the most fresh strong essential oil with a wonderful herbaceous lemony scent. It is so strong a little will go a long way. It smells just like the best parts of Lemon Balm. It may be my new favorite scent. I can't say enough about the quality of the oils in my order and they were wrapped so a gorilla couldn't hurt them. My order was made late on the 28th of March and arrived on the first day of April. Amazing turnaround time. I will definitely be back. Don't hesitate to try this.

I’m reviewing my recent purchase of Eden’s Organic Melissa (Lemon Balm) EO batch 601-006, Lot 13. Purchased in November 2023. It’s absolutely amazing and the finest Melissa EO I’ve ever encountered.,As a longtime fan of Lemon Balm (Melissa) tea, which is excellent for anxiety and stress, I’ve had Lemon Balm (Melissa) growing randomly all over my yard for years now. I know what the fresh and dried leaves smell and taste like. Having ordered from Eden for the first time this order, I was extremely impressed by how fresh and strong this Melissa EO is! It’s powerfully relaxing and almost hypnotic. I’m using it for both diffuser and a massage blend to relieve stress and anxiety. I’ve experimented with combining it with some other EO and absolutes from Eden, for diffusing in my home and in my moms nursing home room. Notes on the experience with the oil: Smelling from the bottle top: A fresh lemon scent with some faint underlying sweet mint notes. A coolness in the nose. Placing one drop in your palm and rubbing your hands together will release a strong pleasant scent of lemon sugar, and to my nose, some cucumber undertones, fresh green notes, and just the faintest whisper of a mild mint that’s barely noticeable. The relaxing effect is noticeable within about two minutes, and lasts for hours. This Melissa EO combines beautifully for aromatherapy with ratio Melissa to rose absolute 10% of 6:1; Melissa to Gardenia absolute ratio 10:1; and Melissa to French Lavender EO 10:3 mixed in Argan oil for 99% carrier oil to 1% EO diluting for safety. I am enjoying experimenting with other blends for diffusing including sweet orange + Roman Camomile + Cedarwood + Tuberose which makes an outstanding room filling relaxing experience.

I'm in love with this oil, it's the best quality I've ever smelled of Melissa. With just the tiniest drop on my wrist or a few whiffs and I'm immediately relaxed.

I have been using Melissa oil for over 8 years to treat cold sores. I apply the oil directly on when I feel a tingle. I don't dilute it because I want full strength and yes it stings a little. The Melissa oil immediately goes to work to halt the formation of sores if I catch it. Otherwise, the Melissa oil will shorten the time the cold sores develop. In the past, the sores would continue to multiply over a day or more. With the Melissa oil, it will multiply in a day but cease the next day. The healing time is fast too. Pretty much within a 3 to 5 days versus 7 or longer in the past. Eden Botanicals has the best Melissa oil. I also use Melissa oil for insect bites. On a trip to Thailand, I had at least 25 mosquito bites on one arm. I put the Melissa oil on and sure enough the insect bites shrank pretty quickly thank goodness!
