Dear Aromatherapy Friends,
Happy August! How quickly the last official month of summer has come upon us! July was quite the mixed bag of weather, hot hot and chilly rain…it was definitely necessary to layer clothes, especially for those of us who made our way into the wilderness for camping or other such adventures.
It has been exciting to watch all of the incredible athletes competing in the Paris Olympics and we are looking forward to the Paralympic Games starting on August 28!
On another note, Our hearts have been with those affected by the devastating fires in and around the Jasper area. If you are able to donate in support please follow this link to the Canadian Red Cross.
Wishing you all a safe, enjoyable August.
Aromatically Yours,
Barb Greenwood
profile on melissa essential oil
Melissa essential oil is useful for bacterial and fungal infections and it is used as a sedative. Asthma and coughs are often relieved by inhaling Melissa essential oil. Due to its calming, soothing effects, Melissa essential oil may also help to lower high blood pressure and will help to calm over-rapid breathing and heartbeat. This essential oil is recommended when initially treating shocked and bereaved individuals.
Several studies have suggested that Melissa is an effective treatment for cold sores. To use Melissa as an aid for healing cold sores, dilute by combining 5 drops of Melissa and 2 tbsp of carrier oil and apply to the affected area within 24 hours of the breakout.
This essential oil comes from the Lemon Balm herb and it is so expensive because it takes approximately 300 lbs of the herb to make just 10ml of essential oil!!
