Melissa True 5% blended in 95% Jojoba Oil. Can be used neat on the skin.

It is also said to be a very useful calming sedative and a useful anti-inflammatory. Also used for insomnia, hysteria and irritability by inhalation and will relieve a cold sore if applied externally.

The key component for ridding a cold sore is ‘geraniol’ which I know is found in many oils in particular ….yes you guessed it…Geranium.

Did you know? The Latin species name melissa is shortened from Classical Greek melisso-phyllon [μελισσο-φύλλον] “bee-leaf”; the plant is rich in nectar and commonly planted to feed bees. That name is akin to Latin mel “honey” and also the British term for orange rind jelly, marmalade.
