Melissa Essential Oil
Melissa essential oil has a fresh, lemony-herbal aroma that helps to create a calm and peaceful atmosphere in your space. In addition, this precious essential oil can be applied topically to beautify skin and reveal your natural radiance. Native to south-central Europe, the Mediterranean, and Asia, melissa is an aromatic perennial herb in the mint family. Also known as lemon balm, the use of this herb extends back at least 2,000 years to Ancient Greece and Rome, where it was referred to colloquially as “honey-leaf” and “the elixir of life.” Melissa essential oil has a tart, lemony aroma with herbaceous green undertones. Grown and distilled at the Young Living St. Marie’s Lavender Farm and Distillery in St. Marie’s, Idaho, this essential oil is produced in limited quantities each year with very low yield per acre, making it rare and valuable. Its aroma creates a pleasant, calming atmosphere that you’ll enjoy as you prepare for a restful evening. Additionally, Melissa is commonly found in cosmetics and personal care products because of its skin-benefitting properties.

Diffusing Notes
These are approximate drops. Adjust recipes to your needs. If a recipe is too strong for you, add fewer drops. Do you need more? Just add more, but no more than 8-12 drops for all of our diffusers with the exception of the Aria diffuser which requires 15-25 drops.
Tip: When you first begin diffusing, start with less essential oil than listed in the recipes and build to more as desired. You should give your body time to adjust to the essential oils. Almost all the Young Living diffusers are ultrasonic which provides a cool-mist humidifier along with the essential oils. These diffusers are safe to run all day. Pay attention to the size of the room because the size will impact the intensity of diffusing. Nebulizers and atomizers are different than ultrasonic diffusers because they do not use water. For these, note the time limit for diffusing stated on each individual oil bottle.
