Melissa oil, also known as lemon balm oil, is a highly fragrant essential oil derived from the leaves and flowers of the Melissa officinalis plant, a member of the mint family. The plant is native to the Mediterranean region and is commonly cultivated for its medicinal and culinary uses. It is a perennial herbaceous plant that is known for its distinctive lemon scent. It has square stems and can grow up to 70-150 cm in height. The leaves are green, ovate, and have a distinct lemon scent. The flowers are small, white, and pink, and grow in clusters. It is a hardy plant, which can be grown in a variety of climates and can tolerate a range of temperatures and soil conditions. It prefers well-drained soil and can grow in full sun or partial shade. The plant is typically propagated through seeds, cuttings, or root division.

It can be harvested in the summer when it is in full bloom, and the leaves and flowers are used to extract the essential oil.  The extraction of Melissa oil from the plant is typically done through steam distillation. The leaves and flowers of the plant are placed in a still, and steam is passed through the plant material. The steam and oil are then condensed and separated, leaving behind the pure essential oil. It is a highly valued essential oil and is often expensive due to the amount of plant material required to produce a small amount of oil.
