One of Melissa oil’s most prominent health benefits is that it may help support a healthy immune system. To obtain this powerful bodily assistance, dilute one drop of Melissa essential oil into 4 fl. oz. of liquid and drink. You can also take Melissa essential oil internally by putting Melissa oil into a veggie capsule and ingesting it like a dietary supplement. Another option to take Melissa oil internally is to place one to two drops of Melissa essential oil under the tongue or on the roof of the mouth and then swallow.

Don’t let nerves ruin your big moment! Before a nerve-wracking speech, presentation, or performance, apply one to two drops of Melissa essential oil to the palms of your hands. Then cup your hands over your nose and inhale. Melissa oil is great for calming tension and nerves and will prove to be a powerful aid during those anxiety-producing occasions.

Where to Buy Melissa Oil
Melissa essential oil, and all other essential oils and products I recommend, are available at the spa, through our online store, and directly from DoTerra.
Essential oils contain many health-promoting benefits that can improve lives and assist in individual needs. However, an essential oil needs to be pure to obtain the full benefits. Unfortunately, many essential oils available to purchase are not pure and contain contaminants and fillers that reduce the effectiveness of the oil. Because doTERRA has seen the power and effect that pure oils can have on individuals and families, they have made it their mission to provide a pure grade of quality essential oils. To ensure the purity of these essential oils, doTERRA places each batch of their oils through the CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade®) protocol. This protocol consists of a series of rigorous tests that assess the purity of each batch of oils. If essential oils have been tested and found pure, the oils are then sold so that people across the globe can experience the powerful effects of pure essential oils.
