Reduce the effects of PMS and periods with Inshanti’s melissa hydrosol. Also called lemon balm, melissa works to relax your body, reducing cramps, combating water retention, and targeting headaches. It also helps to soothe eczema, diaper rash, and skin irritations, including poison ivy and oak.
Your pregnancy should be a wonderful time; don’t let morning sickness ruin it. Melissa hydrosol is known as a digestive aid, reducing nausea, calming upset stomachs, and taming intestinal spasms and cramps, including those that may accompany colitis and Crohn’s disease. Many people use melissa daily in a hot or cold beverage to encourage their overall well-being. It calms the mind, lessening stress and anxiety. Because it has anti-infectious properties and is an immunostimulant, this daily use may also help protect you during flu and allergy season.
