In ancient times, oil was used for nervous disorders, heart disease and increased fertility in families. Melissa was the main ingredient in Carmelite water, which was made in France in 1611 by Carmelite monks. The composition of this remedy naturally included melissa itself, as well as lemon zest, mint greens, coriander, cinnamon and nutmeg. It was a medicine that was used to normalize nervous activity.

Dr. Dietrich Webner (Wabner), professor at the Technical University in Munich, reported that a single application of pure essential oil of Melissa led to a complete remission of herpes simplex lesions.

Usually Melissa essential oil, which is used by the perfume industry, is of rather poor quality. If this oil is obtained for therapeutic purposes, then it is obtained by steam distillation and its cost is extremely high!

It takes 3 tons of plants to get one pound of Melissa essential oil! One pound of therapeutic grade essential oil costs up to $15,000. The cost of 5 ml of this oil is from $150 to $225. But on the Internet you can find a price of $ 10 for the same amount of oil!

Very often, Melissa essential oil is adulterated with a mixture of Lemongrass and Citronella. The most expensive therapeutic grade oil at the moment is Rose Otto essential oil obtained by steam distillation.
