Lemon balm essential oil (CT Melissa officinalis)
The first records of the medicinal properties of lemon balm date back to the beginning of our era, when Pliny the Elder, in his work Naturalis historia, advised the use of lemon balm for insect bites, to relieve stomach problems and painful menstruation. Paracelsus made a concoction from it, which he himself called the »elixir of life«, it was one of the main ingredients of the medieval Carmelite water.
In aromatherapy, the scent of lemon balm oil is known as one that improves mood, relieves inner restlessness and stress, and helps relieve headaches and symptoms of colds.
