The Elixir of Life
Melissa (Lemon Balm) • Melissa officinalis • The Oil of Emotional Light
Comfort Your Heart. Revitalize Your Spirit. For centuries, true Melissa oil has been one of the most precious and revered substances in the botanical kingdom. The great 16th-century alchemist Paracelsus called it the "Elixir of Life," believing it could fundamentally revitalize the spirit. The Persian polymath Avicenna wrote that its aroma makes the heart "merry and joyful." And for over 600 years, Carmelite nuns have crafted the legendary "Eau de Mélisse" to uplift the spirits of French royalty.
This is not just an essential oil; it is a historical treasure. Due to an incredibly low yield, true Melissa is rare and often adulterated. We guarantee the purity of our oil through rigorous testing, ensuring you receive the authentic, cherished botanical. In the Pranic Lifestyle, Melissa is an energetic linchpin, a carrier of Green and Orange prana used to cleanse the etheric body and balance the great emotional centers of the Solar Plexus and Heart chakras.

Sacred Rituals for Mastery
I. The "Carmelite Heart" Diffusion Blend
Inspired by the legendary "Eau de Mélisse," this ritual is designed to create an atmosphere of profound peace and uplifting joy:
- 3 drops Melissa (Joyful Heart)
- 2 drops Lavender (Tranquility)
- 1 drop Frankincense (Spiritual Connection)
Diffuse during quiet moments of reflection to soothe the heart and elevate the spirit.
II. The "Solar Plexus" Confidence Anointing
To foster a sense of confidence and personal power, create a diluted anointing oil. In 1 oz (30ml) of Jojoba oil, add no more than 3-4 drops of Melissa oil. Anoint your solar plexus (upper abdomen) before important events, visualizing a bright, golden light filling you with calm self-assurance.
The Safety Vault: A Guide to Respectful Use
True Melissa oil is potent and chemically delicate. Its safe and effective use requires awareness and respect for its nature.
- EXTREME DILUTION REQUIRED: Melissa oil is rich in citral, a potent sensitizer. To comply with IFRA safety standards for leave-on products, it must be diluted to a maximum of 0.15% (approx. 1 drop in 1 oz/30ml of carrier oil). NEVER apply undiluted.
- OXIDATION RISK: The citral in Melissa oil is unstable and can degrade when exposed to air and heat, increasing the risk of skin sensitization. Store this oil in the refrigerator to preserve its integrity and use within 1-2 years.
- PREGNANCY & CHILDREN: Consult a qualified healthcare professional before using this oil if you are pregnant, nursing, or for use with young children.
- SKIN SENSITIVITY: Always perform a patch test with a properly diluted oil before widespread use. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs.
