Melissa (Melissa officinalis)
Also known as Lemon Balms or âelixir of lifeâ Melissa is associated with nervous disorders, the heart and emotions. It can be used for anxiety, stress, mourning and worrying. Use in therapeutic bath or massage blend. Melissa helps appease the stomach, indigestion, colic, nausea and flatulence. Use in a massage blend and apply to the abdominal area in a clockwise direction. Melissa gives temporary relief to headaches caused by cold and flu and eases shortness of breathe. Use, again, in a massage blend to regulate ovulation and promote fertility. It has been noted that it is very possible that the oil of Melissa could be of real value in cancer therapy. CAUTIONS: Do not use directly on skin, as it can irritate some skins
