Balm is also known by the names Balm, Bee Balm, Melissa, Balm Mint, Blue

The word "Balm" is an abbreviation of Balsam, the chief of sweet-smelling
oils. The genus Melissa is widely diffused, having representatives in
Europe, Middle Asia and North America.
Lemon Balm has the ability
to heal wounds, ease indigestion, relieve menstrual cramps, fight cold sores
(herpes simplex), relax nerves, soothe minor wounds & insect stings,
help prevent sleeplessness, and even repel mosquitoes.
It may be used effectively in conditions of
migraine that are associated with tension, neuralgia, anxiety induced
palpitations, and/or insomnia. Lemon Balm has a tonic effect on the heart
and circulatory system causing mild vasodilatation of the peripheral vessels,
thus acting to lower blood pressure.

General Safety Information: Do not take any oils
internally without consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner.
Do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated
essences onto the skin. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage,
have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the
proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme
caution when using oils with children and give children only the gentlest
oils at extremely low doses. It is safest to consult a qualified
aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children. A skin patch test
should be conducted prior to using an oil that you've never used before.
