Product Overview

Our Monarda – Bee Balm essential oil from France has a softly sweet, fresh, lemony-citrus aroma with, herbaceous, floral and geranium-like notes. Monarda fistulosa, known by the name of Bee Balm or Wild Bergamot, is a widespread and abundant wildflower of the Mint family native to North America where it is often used by beekeepers as a ‘honey plant.’ The alluring citrus-floral aroma is reminiscent of the Bergamot Orange – hence the name Wild Bergamot, although no relation to the citrus fruit – yet the essential oil shares greater similarity with Palmarosa or Geranium.

Gaining recognition as a brilliant, aromatic garden ornamental, and notoriety for its many benefits in French aromatherapy, Monarda is now cultivated in Canada and France. Its showy pink to purple flowers are an attractive favorite of bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators.[1] An exceptionally high geraniol content, combined with linalool and citral, gives Monarda oil a broad spectrum of action in skincare applications, particularly for topical washes, compresses, foot and nail lotions, bath and body oils, and preparations for congested skin. The calming aroma is refreshing in a diffuser in winter months and combines well with Lavender in massage, chest rubs and bedtime blends. Natural perfumers may find Monarda useful as a fresh citrus-floral top note with unique herbaceous qualities to elevate a wide variety of creations.

Healing with lemony sweet scent

Rating

I combined this with thyme and Roman chamomile into a foot wash and soak. I used it at least once every other day. I had a toenail that had become infected with a fungus, and only because nails grow so slowly, it took about 9 months to completely eradicate it, but it’s gone! I have the healthiest looking feet and toes, just in time for summer and sandals. I also enjoy the aroma; it’s a lemony geranium with a sweet honey-like softness to it, that honey note being reminiscent of Manuka to my nose. I use it in the diffuser in exchange for geranium or Palma Rosa in recipes and it smells wonderful. As I’ve come to expect with Eden Botanicals, the quality is high. I intend to buy this again each time I run out.

I was expecting a bubbly champagne, but instead I get a green herbaceous dirty floral note. I was pretty shocked, but I blended it with lemon and geranium and some galbanum and it turned out pretty interesting.
