Découvrez notre Lemon Balm Essential Oil 100% Organic and Handcrafted
Melissa (Melissa Officinalis), a delicate and precious plant from the Lamiaceae family, has been valued since antiquity for its aromatic qualities and rich history, often associated with sweetness and comfort. At Essenciagua, we carefully distill the flowering tops of fresh Melissa, cultivated in France, to preserve the full subtlety of its organic essence.
Its delicate aroma can subtly enhance your refreshing drinks, infusions, or desserts, bringing a vegetal and lemony touch. Olfactively, Melissa Essential Oil offers a fresh and intensely lemony scent, nuanced with an enveloping sweetness. This fragrance, far from the lively sparkle of some citrus fruits, is a true invitation to serenity and sensory well-being, offering a soothing and harmonious olfactory experience.

La Plante Lemon balm
Partie de la plante: Flowering Summit
Origine: France
Lemon balm, whose name evokes honey, is one of our best melliferous plants. A member of the Lamiaceae family, it grows in clumps in southern European gardens at altitudes of up to 1000m. As early as the 10th century, the Arabs used it as a remedy for melancholy. Even today, Lemon Balm is used in the composition of Chartreuse and Eau de Mélisse des Carmes, two preparations that both claim to be true “Elixir of Health”.
Lemon balm is an excellent soothing plant. It is both recommended for aiding digestion and combating melancholy.
At Essenciagua, we distill it at the end of the summer season. This is the moment when, having accumulated essential oil throughout the summer, it reaches an optimal quantity. During distillation of the Essential Oil, we also extract Lemon Balm Hydrosol. The latter is particularly suitable for children and infants to aid digestion.
