Lemon Balm Melissa Essential Oil Certified Organic

Gentle, lemony, and deeply calming. Valley of the Moon's Lemon Balm (Melissa) is a certified organic essential oil steam distilled from the leaves of Melissa officinalis, sourced from South Africa. One of the rarest and most precious oils in aromatherapy, true Melissa has a lovely, soft lemony scent that is both calming and uplifting to the emotions, a rare combination that makes it a treasured oil for anxiety, stress, and emotional support.

Why It Works

• Blending: A soft, lemony middle note that adds gentle brightness and emotional depth to floral and citrus blends.

What You'll Feel

• Calm: Anxiety and emotional tension gently eased.
• Uplifted: A soft, lemony brightness that lifts the mood without overstimulating.
