Melissa (Lemon Balm) Oil
Melissa essential oil is extracted by steam distillation of fresh buds, leaves, and twigs of melissa or Melissa officinalis, as it is scientifically known. There is a good reason why this essential oil has earned the reputation and a globally known name of lemon balm oil. This is because this oil is extensively used in nearly all sorts of balms due to its soothing properties while having a sweet, pleasant aroma. It is also known as sweet oil and common oil. Melissa plant is native to the Mediterranean region and has been popularly referred to as the bee plant. However, that is not the sole cause of this plant's popularity. It is famous particularly for its soothing, memory boosting, and anti-depressant powers, among others whose explanations can be found below.
Melissa essential oil is an effective mood lifter and an antidepressant. It has been found to drive away sadness and inspire joy and hope. That is why it was called the Elixir of Life or the Nectar of Life all the way back in the 15th Century.
This means that it provides actual warmth to the respiratory and cardiovascular system. One can avoid frequent colds with the help of this property.
Prevents Nervous Disorders
Melissa essential oil is also considered a nervine substance. This means that it serves as a tonic for the nervous system, keeping it healthy, functioning properly, and preventing nervous disorders. Problems like vertigo, nervousness, and convulsions can be treated using this property of melissa essential oil.
This essential oil sedates and soothes and is good for calming inflammation, anxiety, nervousness, trauma, and shock. It promotes sleep, relaxes the body, mind, and soul while bringing feelings of peace and contentment. In the past, it was used to help soldiers relax and drive away the fatigue and stress of combat.
Relieves Spasms
The essential oil of melissa, being an effective sedative and relaxant, can give fast relief from spasms in all parts of the body. Spasm is an excessive contraction of the body that can occur within the respiratory, muscular, nervous, and digestive systems. This can lead to severe coughs, muscular cramps, convulsions, shortness of breath, and severe abdominal pains. Spasms should be taken very seriously, since in extreme cases they may be lethal.
Boosts Digestive Processes
Melissa oil, being a stomachic, helps in the smooth functioning of the stomach and the digestive process. It helps heal wounds, scratches or ulcers in the stomach, maintains proper flow of gastric juices and bile into the stomach, and tones and protects it from infections.
Relieves Bloating
Gases that build up in the intestines are forced out by melissa oil. It is very effective in expelling gases by reducing the tension in the abdominal muscles and relieving things like bloating and cramping.
Prevents Bacterial Infections
Melissa oil has antibacterial properties and has been found to be effective in inhibiting bacterial infections in the colon, intestines, urinary tract, and kidneys.
Promotes Sweating
Melissa oil has diaphoretic and sudorific properties, which means it promotes sweating or perspiration. Sweating helps in eliminating toxins, cleaning skin pores, thereby ensuring removal of harmful gases like nitrogen, helping the skin breathe. Perspiration also cools your body down when it is overheated.
Reduces Fever
Being an antibacterial, melissa essential oil fights against bacterial or microbial infections in the body, including those that cause fever. Again, since it has sudorific properties, it helps reduce body temperature and removes the toxins produced during fever, through the process of sweating.

Traditional Attars
Attar (Arabic: عطر) also known as ittar is a natural perfume oil derived from botanical sources, such as flowers (jasmine, rose, sandalwood and more), herbs, spices, or barks. Oils can also be expressed by chemical means but generally natural perfumes which qualify as Attars are distilled naturally.
Aroma Oils
Fragrance oil(s), also known as aroma oils, aromatic oils, and flavor oils, are blended synthetic aroma compounds or natural essential oils that are diluted with a carrier like propylene glycol, vegetable oil, or mineral oil.
Absolutes
Absolutes are similar to essential oils. They are concentrated, highly aromatic, oily mixtures extracted from plants. Whereas essential oils are produced by distillation, boiling or pressing, absolutes are produced through solvent extraction, or more traditionally, through enfleurage. Used in perfumery and aromatherapy.
Flavors
Flavor is the sensory impression of food or other substances, and is determined primarily by the chemical senses of taste and smell.

Where do essential oils come from?
The short answer is, essential oils come from plants. Essential oils are an oil which has typically been distilled-usually using steam or water-from the bark, leaves, flower, roots, or other parts of the plant. They are highly concentrated oils that contain both the aromatic and chemical properties of the plant.
Your essential oils cost less than other brands, how can you offer such low prices?
We do purchase in very large quantity of raw materials so that we can provide the best rates with the best quality.
Are your oils watered down or diluted in any way?
No, both our pure and natural essential oils and our certified organic essential oils are never diluted or watered down in any way. We do offer a variety of essential oil blends, some of which are combined with carrier oils such as jojoba, but these blends are manufactured specifically as blends and are clearly labeled as such to avoid any confusion.
Do essential oils have a grading system to tell me which is better?
There is no official grading system that grades essential oils as A, B, C or Therapeutic grade. All NOW pure essential oils are accurately labeled as such and are the highest purity and quality available.
Are NOW essential oils cruelty free?
Yes. Our essential oils are vegan and we do not do any animal testing on any of our products.
Can I use essential oils in my house without a diffuser?
You can! There are great ways to use oils without a diffuser.
Are essential oils the same as fragrance oils?
No, they aren't. As I mentioned above, essential oils are distilled from plants. Fragrance oils are synthetically created in a laboratory.
A chemist manufactures a scent so it smells like something else. Ever had a candle that smells like apple pie? That was a fragrance oil at work.
